Get ready for it — snook season opens back up on the first of February! In the meantime, black drum remains the talk of the town — from the inlet, to the beaches and lagoon, the bite for these big uglies IS ON! There’s also a good number of bruiser redfish in the mix around Sebastian Inlet, too. These fish will pretty much eat anything right now — shrimp, clams, sand fleas, cut bait, finger mullet, bucktails. Everything we’re trying seems to be working! In the surf, anglers are still catching some pompano despite the rough conditions. Speaking of rough, it looks like we’re in for another windy week ahead. But, the fish still gotta eat! Come on down and get some 3 ounce jigs and have some fun out there!

Surf anglers are catching lots of Spanish Mackerel on casting jags and gotcha. Pompano are being caught on sand fleas, but orange and pink Wacky Jigs are also producing. Everyone’s been talking about the big black drum in the lagoon but they’re also cruising the beaches right now, too. These big uglies will eat pretty much anything — shrimp, clam, Fishbites, sand fleas, you name it. Get down to the beach and play!

The surf fishing has been great lately and anglers are having some real fun out on the beach. Lots of species are biting and being caught, including big drum, permit, pompano, bluefish, and Spanish mackerel. Anglers are also doing well catching these same fish at the Sebastian Inlet Jetty.

Surf fishing has been extremely good to us this week. The inlet has been a little weedy, making fishing a bit tough. The talk of the week definitely Flounder, Spanish mackerel and sheepshead. The weather has been beautiful look at outside and play. We still have buy two get one spool We still have buy two get one spool teks — any size and color.

The surf fishing has been great through the holidays and the pomps are here in good numbers!

Pompano are here in good numbers on the beach and sand fleas have been getting the job done well. There’s also a good number of bluefish and Spanish mackerel out there in the surf, too. For these fish, spoons and little feather jigs are producing really well.

…And that’s a wrap on snook season. As of December 15th, snook are catch and release only. Recreational harvest will open back up on the first of February. While we’re giving the snook a little break, the water temperature is finally dropping and there’s plenty of other fun species to target such as drum, pompano, flounder, and sheepshead.

The snook bite has been really good, and you better get out after it before it’s too late! The season is closed on the 15th of December — that’s just five days from now. There’s also loads of blues and Spanish mackerel on the beaches, and meanwhile, the pompano are moving in. It’s winter time for sure!

The snook bite has been on fire at Sebastian Inlet. Lots of black drum, blue fish, ladyfish mackerel, redfish, and sheepshead are also being caught. If the water temperature drops just a little bit, expect to start seeing more flounder.

Thanksgiving was good to us fisherman. Wind and weeds made surf fishing virtually impossible through the holiday weekend, but anglers have performed well in the inlet and lagoon. The best bite has been mainly on redfish, snook, and black drum, but there’s also been a ton of bluefish and ladyfish pretty much everywhere. All in all, it’s been a good week of fishing.
