Just looking around

A fishing buddy asked me why I’m not reporting about down in the Palm Beach / Lake Worth  area ?????  Well its been kind of slow, even though the winds have picked up the blue fish, jack bite, with sharks and catfish mixed in at both piers and jetties. One good thing about this wind is the snook  LOVE  the water being churned up and seem to love “BLUE FISH GUTS”. One bad thing is you have to put the snook BACK until Sept. the ????????????????  Hopefully when this weather calms down it’ll bring back  ALL the fish that we have grown to love at the piers and jetties. 

Even though I haven’t seen many people fishing for them, I have been seeing sheepshead all around, you can find crabs under the rocks at marinas at low tide. My #1 sheepshead spot was  Boynton Beach jetty, but it’s been close for almost 3 years now because of repair. They say it will reopen in April of this year .......we will see......

Good morning,  fishing along the beaches and the jetty's has continued to be productive. Spanish mackerel, bluefish, pompano, and jacks have been most prevalent. Now that the wind is starting to back off it will make fishing for them alot more pleasurable!

Sebastian Inlet Report

This morning winds are blowing out of the Southwest at 23 mph and the water is choppy. It looks as if we'll have the higher winds and rough water to deal with over the weekend and we'll throw in a chance of rain for good measure. You probably will want to use a little heavier tackle to help combat the winds. 

We all got pretty excited earlier this week with some real nice catches before the winds moved in and messed it up for us. We had a couple of real good days of fishing with anglers limiting out on Sheepshead two days in a row, very nice! Anglers also landed a couple of beautiful Pompano on clams, a few where in the 18" range.

 Another windy day at the inlet. Winds are blowing out of the south at 19 mph and the water is choppy. 
Yesterday the fishing was pretty much blown away, conditions were not good. Waves were crashing over the north jetty giving anglers an occasional soaking and making it feel downright cold, tangled lines and snags on the bottom kept anglers busy just trying to keep a line out. One Black Drum was landed off the north jetty in the morning hours and a couple of Blues came over the rails of the north catwalk. Forecasts are calling for the winds to die down tomorrow, let's hope it happens!

Sebastian Inlet Report

It's still windy at the inlet with a mix of sun and clouds this morning. Winds are blowing out of the Southeast at 25mph and the water is choppy. There is a small craft advisory in effect through Friday morning.

The action seems to be improving at the inlet. As we see the water temperature climb, we should see more and more activity at the inlet. Schools of baitfish should start making their way in and out of the inlet, drawing in those yummy species we love to catch and devour as they start their migration back north. 

Big Blues, nice sized Sheepshead and good sized Pompano have all been coming over the rails the past two days. A few Spanish Mackerel are out there but we're not seeing those in good numbers or size yet. 

The tide pool has reopened to the public! The tide pool has a nice wading shelf for the little ones and farther out, deeper depths for swimming. Many thanks to the engineers and contractors for such an efficient, expedient job. Well done!

Inshore the trout fishing has been getting really good.  There are good numbers of fish in the Vero area and also to the South along I.R. Drive.  Red-fishing has stayed consistent.  Some days the fish have been concentrated into super big schools (over 200 fish ) and the next they seem pretty spread out.  There are still some nice pompano around, with the main body towards Jensen Beach and Stuart.  The water has warmed up enough that top-water fishing has started getting pretty good.

Inshore, Mike Bunnell reported a catch of 12 redfish and 15 trout between the bridges in Vero Beach. Mike caught the fish using Berkley Gulp and Marsh Works lures. Monty Tabor reported a good catch of bluefish off the Sea Tern apartments on Sunday, just as the sun was setting. It looks like we are in for some crazy weather through out the week.
