Sebastian Inlet Report

09-13-12 THURSDAY: SNOOK, REDS, MANGROVE SNAPPER AND JACKS 

We have clear skies this morning, winds are blowing out of the East-Northeast at 9 mph, gusting to 15 and the water is choppy. Small craft should exercise caution. 

An update from inlet regular Mike Ricciardi said yesterday morning was another action packed adventure. Almost everyone fishing the end landed their slot sized Redfish and more. Finger mullet were plentiful and the bait of choice, although live shrimp were working as well. 

Photo one features Chris Robinson of W. Melbourne with a double! Chris landed 28" Snook and 24" Red using finger mullet yesterday morning. 

Photo two features Mike Ricciardi with a triple he landed yesterday; a slot Red, Black Drum and Mutton Snapper using finger mullet and dead shrimp. 

Photo three is of Chuck Fischer of Satellite Beach. Chuck landed this 25" slot Red  after landing a few that were short. 

Photo four features Mike White of Sebastian with two very nice Mutton Snapper he landed on Aug. 31st. Mike was using mojarra to land these beauties and he also caught three nice Mangrove Snapper in the process! Mike estimated the large Mutton to be between 8 - 9 lbs.


Our last photo today is of Steve Decoulas of Fort Lauderdale with a good sized Black Margate.

For all of you anglers with an IPhone, there's an application that was invented by two Jupiter fishing buddies called Fish Rules App. The app will find regulations and seasons for most saltwater species in State or Federal waters from NC through TX.

I hope everyone has an opportunity to fish the fall mullet run this year. We are only in our first week of the run and all ready I've been hearing great reports of snook and tarpon be caught. The further into fall we get the better the fishing is going to be. Be sure to get out this weekend and walk to beach and cast a rod!

Sebastian Inlet Report

09-12-12 WEDNESDAY: SNOOK, REDS, MANGROVE SNAPPER AND JACKS 

We have overcast skies and rain at the inlet this morning. Winds are blowing out of the East-Southeast at 10 mph and the water is choppy. Small craft should exercise caution. If you head to the inlet today, dress accordingly. 

Finger mullet are making their annual fall migration and the fishing reflects the fact, according to Mike Ricciardi of Vero Beach who was on the north jetty again yesterday. Snook and Redfish were "boiling" the bait on the surface and most anglers caught multiple Reds, most of which were slot sized fish. Despite the Snook feeding frenzies, only 6 were hooked up and only one keeper was landed by Tony Swiderski of Sebastian, at 31 3/4". Several good sized Mangrove Snapper came over the rails for those using finger mullet, Diane Buyce of Melbourne landed one that was 16". Mike reported hundreds of Jacks throughout the morning from 1 - 5 lbs. The strong winds and seaweed created a lot of frustration, but the bite was good.

Our photo  features Tony Swiderski of Sebastian with the 31 3/4" Snook he landed yesterday when he placed a live finger mullet into the "bait fish boil" yesterday. 
Our second photo features  Diane Buyce of Melbourne, an inlet regular, holds a gorgeous Mutton Snapper she landed. The Mutton Snapper bite was very hot for about three days, and then they disappeared after storm.

The snook bite at the jetty was ok last night on the out going tide and a few tarpon mixed in. There has been some mullet starting to show up at the beach and in the inlet. The trout fishing is still good on soft baits to south and a few reds to the north.
