Sebastian Inlet fishing report 11-19

[Fishing Report]

11-19-10 FRIDAY: SPANISH MACKEREL, BLACK DRUM, FLOUNDER, POMPANO, SNOOK, REDS, SHEEPSHEAD AND BLUES

TGIF Anglers! It's another windy morning at the inlet. Winds are blowing out of the Southeast at 19 mph and the waves are crashing against the jetties, giving anglers an unexpected shower every now and then.

The bite has been good this week with anglers bringing in some beautiful Spanish Mackerel on greenies and Gotcha lures. Good sized Black Drum have been landed on clams and shrimp, oversized Reds, oversized and slot sized Snook, Pompano, Flounder, Whiting and Blues have all made appearances.

Sebastian Inlet District Commissioner Jim Culberson, wife and trusty hound spent the past nine days camping at the inlet and reported some beautiful fishing going on! Jim said the finger mullet were stacked up in the shallows along both sides of Coconut Point and Flounder were steadily being caught up and down the length of the inlet from both sides. Limits of Spanish Mackerel (15), Pompano, giant Reds and slot and oversized Snook were landed from both jetties. Our first two photos today are courtesy of Jim, thank you Commissioner!

Photo # 1 features Parrish Jones with a 29" slot sized Snook landed on a bucktail. Photo # 2 features Commissioner Culberson with a 27" Snook that was returned immediately after the photo. Nice catches gentlemen!

Photo # 4 features Tony Swiderski of Sebastian and Mike Ricciardi with good sized Black Drum they landed on Tuesday using clams. Very nice!

The Sebastian Inlet State Park will be hosting its Night Sounds concert tomorrow from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. which will feature the act "Atlantic Bluegrass" which is a five piece band. Get out and enjoy a little music this weekend, it should be a beautiful night for it. The concert is free but park admissions apply.

Have a great weekend!

11-18-10 THURSDAY: SPANISH MACKEREL, BLACK DRUM, POMPANO, BLUES, SHEEPSHEAD, FLOUNDER AND REDS

It's a wild and windy morning at the inlet. Winds are blowing out of the East at 17 mph and the water is churned up.

Spanish Mackerel made a real good showing yesterday with many anglers limiting out at 15 according to inlet regular Mike Ricciardi of Vero Beach. Greenies were the bait of choice although Gotcha lures work well too. Five Black Drum came over the rails on fresh clams, the largest was 26" landed by Tony Swiderski of Sebastian, Mike had one at 23.5" and the rest were between 17" - 20". Several nice Sheepshead were landed on clams and dead shrimp, Mike landed one that was 4 lbs. Pompano passed through hitting shrimp and sand fleas and Whiting were in the mix throughout the morning. Thanks for the update and photos Mike!

Photo # 3 features Paul Sumulong of East Orlando . Paul fished the north jetty on Veteran's Day and brought in his nice Black Drum using frozen clams. Paul reported that Pompano were biting all day and he took home one keeper. Nice work if you can get it!

Robert Cruz of Kissimmee is featured in our last photo today. Robert was on the north jetty on Veteran's Day and brought in this huge Red on finger mullet. Robert said many big Reds were brought in during the morning hours. Sweet catch Robert.
