Sebastian Inlet Report


                                     

                             04-01-15 WEDNESDAY: FISHING IS PICKING UP, NO FOOLING! 

We have fog at the inlet this morning but we expect it to burn off quickly. Winds are blowing out of the West-Southwest at 7 mph, gusting to 10 and there is a light chop on the water. We have a slight chance of showers this evening. It looks like it's going to be a great day to get out and enjoy the great outdoors, do it for those who are stuck in their offices!

Fishing has been picking up as our days get warmer and longer. We're seeing a good variety of species and nice fish come over the rails of both jetties. Catches include big and medium Jacks; lots of Blues, good sized Sheepshead, Trout, Spanish Mackerel, big Reds, Black Drum, Lookdowns, a few Pompano in the surf and a few Flounder.

We received an update from winter resident Rich Blum who fished the north jetty yesterday morning. Rich reported that the big Reds ruled the morning hours. All of the Reds that came over the rails were oversized and returned to the water after photos. Sheepshead were in play and one real nice Black Drum was landed. 
Our first photo today features Chris Webber of Wisconsin. Chris was fishing the south jetty when he landed this huge Jack using a jig. Chris reported there were lots of Jacks and Blues landed on the outgoing tide. Chris was happy to be here as the lakes are still frozen in WI! 

Photo two features Van Thanh of Orlando with a 20" Jack. This was the first fishing experience for him.

Liem Vo sent in our last photo today of a real nice Spotted Trout his father landed using a diving minnow.
