Good morning, my Sebastian Inlet fishing friends. I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend. Here is your fishing report for this week: It is going to be another slow one, as it was pretty slow at the inlet all weekend. Fish were caught there, but not many. They were scattered all over the inlet, but no place was a hotspot. Again the slowness is due to the SSW winds impacting water quality, not to mention rain runoff from the Sebastian River and other mainland tributaries. I’m not going to break it all down, like I said, there weren’t any hot spots.
The north side produced small mangrove snapper along the rock shoreline on the incoming tide on live and dead greenies, and live shrimp. Most were too small to keep, but I did see some that made the limit to be kept. Also, in that area there were catch-and-release snook caught on live mojarra, but only a few. At the tip of the jetty on the outgoing tide, there were catch-and-release snook on mojarra and croakers, but again, only a few. The incoming tide had small mangroves being caught, but most here were also too small. The south side jetty, outgoing tide was mostly all about the catfish and puffers. And a ton of seaweed, it was pretty bad over here with that. On the incoming tide, if you found cleaner water along the shoreline, there were small catch-and-release snook on live mojarra. Not much else on this side all the way back to the T-dock, except catfish and puffers.
That’s all I have this week, folks. As always, I tell it like it is. We need clearer, warmer water for more action. Temperatures dropped from 83 early last week to 71 by Friday, but now it is back up to 78. Whenever it does that, it will affect the bite in a negative way. Everyone have a great week.
