We met up at the Sebastian Inlet boat ramp in the morning. The tide was incoming early and switched around 10:30. With the early storms approaching we decided to stick close to the inlet. The water temp. is still cold, and the bait situation is tough. The greenies were hard to find but we managed to get a dozen and a half. Croakers were there and we caught about two dozen.
When the tide switched to outgoing, we moved to the inlet and set anchor. The Snook were going off! It is that time of year, if you put a croaker down he is going to hit pretty quick. Well it took a few misses until they got the hang of it. Sans landed the first Snook. Tom caught the second Snook. It took Joel the longest to catch one but once he got one he was on fire after that. He ended up catching the most Snook with four fat one’s. We were close to running out of bait, with the storms building from the west and getting close it was time to call it a day. It was a great trip, everyone caught good size Snook. Thanks again Sans for letting me take you and your friends fishing.

The weather is sunny and the tide in the Inlet was at the end of Outgoing at 7 a.m. Jim and his family are from the Orlando area. There were six of them, so we split up into threes between two boats. The fishing has been kind of tough during the days. The water is kind of dirty and chilly and it has been so hot. There were a few schools of small greenies right off of the main channel in the river. We also ran into some nice thick schools of greenies just up the beach.

Once we got to the spot we started our drifts. Lee hooked up right off, but lost it after a few seconds. Lory was fishing on Jim’s Boat and she hooked up next with a nice fish. I pulled up next to them and manage to take a few pics. Lory was hooked up with a nice Permit. After some good fighting and long runs, Lory and Stuart landed a nice permit 15-18lbs. We had some more action after that. Campbell caught a good size Jack. Dan caught a Bonita that gave him a heck of a fight. We had to chase it down. He also caught a Barracuda. There were the schools of Snook again, just couldn’t seem to get them to hit. The bite was kind of slow. It was noon and storms were beginning to pop up. We decided to call it. That was still a great day. Thanks Jim and Stuart that was fun fishing with all of you. Make sure to email me I have more pictures for you. Thanks Again!

Chipper and Dan

I collected about two dozen crabs the night before. We picked up a two dozen live Shrimp from Whitey’s on the way down. We made it the ramp at 8 a.m. and headed straight to our fishing spot. What a day ! When we got there Chipper hooked right up and landed a monster Snook. I couldn’t believe it, I have seen the schools of Snook but I have never seen them eat like that. Well not at that spot.

I was next to get a bait own and just like that I had a monster Snook on. I caught 3 monsters all together. It took Dan a bit to hook a Snook. His first fish was a Jack. His second was a monster Snook though. Dan also got the only Permit of the day. We ended with a pretty good day. Tons of action!

Sans, Jerry, and Mark

Night trip, The weather has been better. The rain was thick it never stopped. These three guys are hardcore! Most guys would have canceled. We got rained on the whole night. The tide was incoming most of the evening. We caught some Pins and started fishing in the Inlet. Nobody could get a hit outside around the bite. So we came in and fished the back. Jerry caught a few small Snook on Grubs. That was pretty cool, the Snook were around 25″. Sans hooked up with a fatty on a pin. That was a good size fish. Mark caught a fat Snook in the back as well.

As the tide was slowing the bite slowed. We waited for the tide to switch and the bite to pick up. The tide was outgoing around 10 p.m. The Snook turned on, Sans and Mark each caught another Big Snook. We had a few misses as well. Well overall the trip was great. The fishing action was hot. The rain was even tolerable. Thanks again Sans. Jerry and Mark it was a pleasure to fish with you.
