Keeping Dry

For "You Anglers" who don't like to be away from your phone while your fishing......... I found a nice case that may help keep your phone DRY its called  - Watertight Cell Phone Dry Box -
 by (outdoorproducts.com).
I found it at Dicks sporting goods and cost - $9.99

I brought one and have been happy with it, I have a iphone 4,  I'm able to get it in with a alarm type car key and my fishing License with no problem...... 
  
                        "BUT THEN I SAW THESE"!!!!!!!
                        A IPHONE ANGLERS DREAM........

One thing I like most about the Lifeproof is it's not BULKY like the Otter Box........ The bad thing it's about $70.00 - $80.00 bucks, but "ha" ( If It Do, What It Do ) I guess I'll be getting one. I've only seen them in Best Buys......And the price is about the same online

INSHORE  

Trout are continuing to be the highlight catch of the week! Reports have been in 3-4 feet of water and against mangroves. Our suggestion for this week is South of the Wabasso Bridge, along the islands! Remember that Trout is in Season, and is not scheduled to go out of season! Along with Trout, we have heard some reports for Redfish. Our suggestion for Trout and Redfish our Gulp Jigs! Try usingPro-Cure on your jigs, refer to Featured Products for Pro-Cure. Snook season is open!! Try along docks, bridges, and any type of structure! Although it is a pain, night fishing has proved to be the best time to catch snook! Use pinfish, croakers, and select-shrimp!!

INLET  

Flounder, Flounder, Flounder have been reported in the inlet!! The doormats are coming inside the inlet during incoming tide/high tide!! Try fishing on the south pier, casting off the north side, not that far tho!! Bluefish are starting to show up; fishing west of the bridge, with silver or gold spoons for your best luck! Some nice Black Drum have been caught on the North Side of the Inlet with live shrimp, as well as Sheepshead. Snook have been reported at the end of the jetty, at the end of incoming tide, using bucktails, select shrimp, and pinfish!  In addition,  Shrimp are running through in good numbers!

 

SURF

  

Reports indicate that Pompano have been scattered, but use Doc's Goofy Jigs. As we suggested earlier, the color of the week is Pink! Also Spanish Mackrel, andCobia have been a long the beaches too! A little bit farther out, but the suggested method is trolling! Also, we have heard reports of Whiting, using shrimp or sand flees!

New friend doing BIG things in Texas

 I just hooked up with a "new friend" in Texas who does a site (Casting Tales) thats "Crazy". Even though alot of the fishing is from a Kayak there is alot of GREAT Stuff he's put together.......Heres a sample............. 

Sebastian Inlet Report

02-02-12 THURSDAY: SNOOK, BLACK DRUM AND SHEEPSHEAD 

It's a real nice morning at the inlet. Winds are blowing out of the North at 3 mph and there is a light chop on the water.

Good news! The Snook showed up for opening day yesterday! We received an update from inlet regular Mike reported a slow, but steady bite of Snook with 5 keepers coming over the rails of the north jetty and there were 5 or 6 more that were either over or under the slot. The bait of choice was live shrimp but Mike didn't have any, he brought sand fleas hoping to land some Sheepshead or Pompano but went home without a thing! There were three Black Drum and four or five Sheepshead and one keeper Red, all landed on live shrimp. 
Our first photo today is of Dave   who is a long-time inlet angler and is a real good Snook fisherman, obviously! Dave landed this beautiful keeper on live shrimp, the other photo is of Mr. Chi with a keeper Snook landed also on live shrimp. 

YES SIR

                              SNOOK Season Is OPEN!!!!!!!!!!!

Sebastian Inlet Report

02-01-12 WEDNESDAY: FISHING IS SLOW 

SNOOK SEASON IS OPEN UNTIL MAY 31st! One per person per day, between 28" - 32". Make sure you have your Snook stamp on your fishing license if you plan on keeping one.

It's a beautiful morning at the inlet. Winds are blowing out of the Southeast at 5 mph and there is a moderate chop on the water.

We haven't had a lot of activity at the inlet as far as fishing goes, but it's always great to get out there and spend some time soaking up the beauty. Fish have been landed very sporadically. A Black Drum, Sheepshead, Pompano, Flounder or Sea Trout will find its way to a lucky angler every now and then, but it has been pretty slow.

Sebastian Inlet State Park Ranger Ed went fishing after work last night and sent the photo of a small Spotted Sea Trout that was released.

From Whites Tackle- Ft. Pierce

Inshore, the opening morning of snook season, did so with little fanfare. White's Tackle's own Kadri  reported catching 2 over the slot limit snook and quite a few bluefish after midnight on the south jetty. Vince  caught 2 keeper snook trolling plugs near the draw of the north bridge last night. The catwalk of the south bridge has been providing land locked anglers with bluefish, sandperch and black margate. Trout fishing in the lagoon remains strong in deeper water areas. Live shrimp and jigs have been working well for the trout and we are still getting reports of pompano in the inlet and the turning basin.
