A Great Weekend

I'm back from my trip over to Tampa and the Frank Sergeant - Tampa Outdoors Expo. I really had a good time meeting alot of people, learning alot from the Pro Seminars, and picking up lots of new tackle to try out....  I didn't get a chance to fish, because of the cold/wind front that came through, but all was good, I had plenty to do and see. I will be telling more about my trip throwout the week......

INSHORE  

   Sheepshead  bite has been plentiful around the docks using live shirmp! Sea Trout have been active around spoil islands, around 3-4 feet of water using live shrimp! Spanish Mackrel are scattered in shore, use spoons for the best of luck!

INLET  

   Sheepshead are being caught in good numbers off the North Jetty, along with some Pompano and Black Drum. Live shrimp is being used for sheepshead and black drum, whereas clams are being used for the pompano. Snook bite has slowed down, but there have been slot-sized snooks caught in early morning using bucktails or select shrimp. A few reports of flounder being caught off the south jetty.  In addition, there are reports of blues, sea trout, Lady fish and jacks.

**Shrimp are running at the inlet at night!

Surf 

 Spanish Mackrel are off the beach using silver spoons. Also Pompano are still off the beach using clams/Doc's goofy jigs!

From Todd @ Juno Bait - Juno Beach

 Snook fishing is very good right now.  Fish lighted bridges and docks at night and the snook will most likely be around.  Live shrimp are a good bet this time of year, as are DOA shrimp and the new Yo-Zuri Shrimp lure.  The bigger snook will be hanging below the little ones on top.  Fish a jig slowly along the bottom in the same areas and a big girl will eventually give you that “thump” you have been waiting all winter for!  The Intracoastal and Munyon Island are still holding good numbers of fish.

SURF/PIER- Not much happening in the surf these days.The croaker and whiting are biting pretty good on the pier.  Spanish mackerel are still at Peck’s Lake.  Spinner sharks and Blacktips have been on the beach.

From Whites Tackle- Ft. Pierce

Inshore, snook fishing has been the ticket on the south jetty at Ft. Pierce. Anglers there have been reporting good action on jigs under the light on the dredge sitting inside the inlet. Over the slot sized snook have been reported around Bear Point. One angler reported catching 3 on live shrimp yesterday morning. Big snook have also been reported in the turning basin, live pinfish have been working there. Redfish around Harbor Branch have been taking Berkley Gulp baits, Mister Twister Exude baits and live shrimp. Bluefish and spanish mackerel have also been reported at the south jetty, caught on spoons and gotchas.

Headed West

 Headed over to the west coast this weekend. Going to the Tampa Outdoors Expo and maybe try to get a little fishing in somewhere. I should have alot of new stuff and info. for the web site on Mon.  


Have a GREAT weekend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sebastian Inlet Report

03-01-12 THURSDAY: SHEEPSHEAD, POMPANO, BLACK DRUM, A FEW SNOOK AND FLOUNDER 

We have another beautiful "winter" day at the inlet. Winds are blowing out of the Southeast at 5 mph. Fishing has been sporadic this week with the dominant catch being Sheepshead. We've seen some nice Black Drum but they've been low in numbers as have Flounder and Pompano. The Snook have been few and far between over the past few days. Water temperatures remain in the 70's, which is warm for this time of year but we actually had Blues finally show up yesterday on the outgoing tide! 

Our first photo today features inlet regular Spiro who was the lucky angler who limited out on some good sized Pompano using clams to catch those beauties! 

Rick is featured in our second photo a regulars on the north jetty he landed a real nice sized Sheepshead and a Flounder using shrimp. 

Photo three features Lee  with a nice Sheepshead and a Spot he landed off the north jetty. 

Photo four features T.C. on the right and "Big Daddy" on the left, they probably had the best luck of anyone. The duo landed a cooler full of Sheepshead and a couple of nice sized Black Drum using sand fleas.
