Good morning all you Sebastian Inlet hard core fishing junkies! I hope everyone is thawing out from all the COLD weather we had last week! Wasn’t very welcoming at all. Lol. But this week’s weather looks to be pretty promising and more spring-like — bring it!
So here we go with what I have, isn’t much due to all the cold weather, brisk cold winds blowing down the intercoastal and the beach water brining it down to the very cold temperatures we are seeing now. It’s been at 57 degrees for the last 4 days now, it really needs to warm up, but that isn’t going to happen until we have a wind switch to the E/SE and blow some warmer water back in. I was down at the inlet over the weekend, and there weren’t very many anglers out on either side. The south jetty water was very dirty and stained with tannic acid from the rain runoff from Sebastian River, plus there was a lot of seaweed around. I saw, and talked to some of my friends there fishing the south side, and there were NO fish being caught to speak of. Only saw 2 small undersized bluefish, and that was it from the tip of the jetty all the way back to the t-dock! Nothing. A couple of my friends were floundering, because they couldn’t get any flounder to bite. Haha. But that’s it in a nutshell, no sugar coating.
Just a reminder for you all, snook season opens back up Saturday February 1st, but DON’T get your hopes up, because the water is way too cold for them to want to play. I usually don’t start fishing for them until March when the water warms back up a bit. That doesn’t mean you might not accidentally catch one. Everyone stay well, be safe and have a great week!
