Good morning all you Sebastian Inlet fishing fans, and sightseers, hope everyone enjoyed the nice summer weather we had over the weekend! Now we are back to the winter stuff!
To start off with, fishing at the inlet has been off and on — one day good, the next few days not — all dependent on the water clarity. Last week when it was clean before the SE winds picked up, it was pretty good, then came the winds and made it muddy, and the fish don’t care for that.
The water temps along the coast warmed up from 62 to 66 as of yesterday, and the snook played a bit last week. Some nice ones were caught on the north jetty on the incoming tide, live shrimp. Outgoing tide at the tip last week some nice black drum were caught as well on live and dead shrimp. Over the weekend that all went away with the dirty water, only saw a few black drum caught and they were the bigger ones this time, most of them over 24 inches, and only a few snook caught. All the action, what little there was, was on the north jetty as the rest of the inlet was muddied up a lot.
For the surf area, both sides, the south side has been VERY dirty and rough, not too fishable, and a lot of catfish if you do fish it, the north side surf is a bit cleaner until you get too far away from the jetty, then it gets pretty dirty. Pompano, whiting and some black drum were being caught on shrimp and sand fleas.
Well, that’s pretty much it for fishing. Note that the area between the railing and the yellow lines is to be kept clear of ANY equipment, chairs, coolers, bags. Please place that equipment in the center of the jetty as that area between the railing and yellow line is a designated “safety walkway” for pedestrians, and to be kept clear in case of any medical emergencies. Thank you so much.
Well, that’s all I have folks. Get out there and enjoy the weather and what the inlet has to offer.
