INSHORE   Flounder at the inlet, flounder inshore.  Any grass flat surrounding the inlet has been producing.  In a boat, try drifting a flat dragging a few live mud minnows or scented baits. Be sure not to pass up putting a bait in any potholes you may come across.  Trout bite has been good as well mainly a few hours after sunrise and a few hours before sunset around the spoil islands.  DOA, Exude, and live shrimp are our favorites.  Snook have also been hanging out at the docks especially at dusk going into the evening.  Play the tides and pitch a live shrimp, pinfish, mirrolure, or yozuri bait for the best shot at a dockside snook.   John  with a 40" snook. Nice catch! INLET  Inlet bite has been red hot with the usual list of characters for this time of year.  First and foremost the Flounder bite has been exceptional using live mud minnows.  Fish the tides incoming to slack for best results.  Black drum bite has also been steady with most anglers finding success at the tip of the north jetty drifting live baits.  Pompano are here in good numbers as well.  Nothing beats a Doc's Goofy Jig fished off the north jetty towards the beach.  Snook bite has also stayed strong with anglers finding the best results fishing the end of the bottom of the incoming.    SURF Captain John with a few tasty Pompano after a quick trip fishing with his son Eric. Big waves have kept some of the surf anglers away but the fish have been there. Pompano have been running pretty decent with a scattered whiting report as well.  For pompano and whiting anglers have been using live or frozen clams.  Clean the clams out and try salting your baits so that they stay on the hook better.  Spanish Mackeral have been off the beach as well and are not picky eaters.  If you can reach them and they are schooled up just about anything with a flash with get their toothy interest.    Tight lines and keep an eye out for our newsletter coming out this week!  As always, if you like reading our reports and want more information on specials, seminars, and daily reports, pl

Sebastian Inlet Report

12-08-11 THURSDAY: FLOUNDER, BLACK DRUM, SNOOK, REDS AND JACKS 

Things cooled down over night and it's a real brisk morning at the Sebastian Inlet. There is a mix of sun and clouds, winds are blowing out of the North at 10 mph and the water is choppy. Inlet anglers are bundled up like Eskimos on the north jetty this morning! 

Yesterday the catch included Snook, Black Drum, Reds, Flounder in the 3 - 4 lb range and a few small Jacks according to Tommy at the Inlet Bait and Tackle Shop. Reports of Snook and Tarpon hitting at night have been heard. 

This cold snap turned on the Flounder bite and anglers fishing west of the tide pool on the rocks nailed some real nice ones this morning!

Inshore, snook fishing has been good around the bridges and in the turning basin. Anglers there are finding success on redtail hawk type jigs and deep running lures, like 111 mirrolures. Trout and redfish have been caught on the east side of the lagoon from Bear Point to Herman's Bay. One angler showed me some pictures this morning of the trout and redfish he found wading at Bear Point using Berkley Gulps over the last few days.

12-07-11 WEDNESDAY: BLUES, BLACK DRUM, FLOUNDER, SHEEPSHEAD AND REDS 

We have a mix of sun and clouds over the inlet this morning but it is a beautiful day. Winds are blowing out of the West-Northwest at 4 mph and the water is calm. We will have a small craft advisory in effect this evening through Thursday afternoon. There are a few surfers in the water taking advantage of a small swell this morning, please use caution when casting off the north side of the north jetty.

Blues were hitting cut mullet yesterday; we saw Black Drum and a few Sheepshead come over the rails and a couple of small Pompano. Small to mid-sized Flounder were landed from the rocks. We received an update from the north jetty that a lot of big Reds came over the rails on the outgoing tide that kept anglers busy but not many Black Drum were landed.

12-06-11 TUESDAY: BLACK DRUM, SHEEPSHEAD, BLUES, FLOUNDER AND A FEW POMPANO The wind has calmed down this morning; it's blowing out of the South-Southeast at 7 mph. There is a light chop on the water and small craft should exercise caution. The Black Drum bite continues but not as strong as it was last week. Anglers are huddled out on the end of the north jetty this morning vying for a spot. Dead shrimp have been working best but anglers have landed some good sized Drum on live shrimp and clams as well. The Sheepshead bite is picking up and Blues are starting to appear. Small to medium sized Flounder and small Pompano are in the mix.  Reports of anglers fishing the south side on Sunday morning's outgoing tide and landed 10 Flounder on mud minnows. Most were small and released but they managed to get two in the 3 - 4 lb range for the dinner table.One angler reported a lot of other anglers landing and releasing small Flounder but saw about a half dozen in the 4 - 7 lb range.
