Sebastian Inlet Report


05-02-14 FRIDAY: TGIF, SLOW FISHING TODAY 

This morning we have a nice breeze at the inlet. Winds are blowing out of the South at 15 mph, gusting to 22 and there is a moderate chop on the water. The NOAA forecast predicts the wind to subside some this afternoon, but there is still and chance of showers and thunderstorms later today.

I took a walk out on the north jetty early this morning and there wasn't a whole lot happening. Dick and Dot Kern of Englewood reported a slow week this week while they've been camping at the campground. This morning Dot landed a couple of Blue Runners and Dick landed three Whiting. Inlet regulars Bill Hillman and Dave Vermilye were hoping for anything to bite. Bill also fished the inlet Thursday evening and reported that some nice schools of Jacks came through in the 6 - 12 lb. range and were hitting live and dead mullet and spoons. Belly Policarpio landed a good sized Lookdown, but that was it for the one hour period I was on the jetty this morning.
Photo one features Diane Buyce of Melbourne with a couple of good sized Atlantic Spadefish she landed using shrimp. 
Photo two is of Mike Ricciardi with one of two oversized Reds he landed and released.
