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!

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!

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.

The weather is calm, sunny and hot. The fishing is pretty good. We made our way out of the inlet and found the bait pods of greenies. The tide was outgoing in the A.M. After getting plenty of bait we headed to our spot we wanted to fish that day. We started to fish and Jennifer did it again we weren’t there for 5 minutes and she was hooked up with a nice fish. After some good long runs and some hard pulling, we saw it was a permit. It was near 17lbs.

John caught about 4 Black Drums, all were around 20 inches. He also caught about a 4-5 lb. Flounder. John and I each had a shot at a Permit, but no luck. I have this curse on me this year with Permit. This was a fun day though, we had a good day and we came home with dinner. Hopefully this curse is broken now that I gave this older gentlemen a tow back to the dock. I didn’t even accept his money. I just want to break this curse. I want to catch a Permit soon.

This was a good trip. I got a tip that the Permit were near the Inlet so I invited a good friend Eric to check it out. We caught a few baits, croakers. The tide was switching to the outgoing around 4:30 p.m. Once the tide switched we fished the Croakers and I hooked up and landed a fat over sized Snook. A few minutes later Eric caught a Snook about 32 inches.

After a bit we started to spot the crabs coming out on the tide. We netted a few and started fishing them. Eric was on fire, catching 3 Permit 20 to 30 lbs. on light tackle. Well, I just have this curse on me with Permit this year. On this day I had two opportunity’s, the first one the fish Spit the bait right as I was going to set the hook. On my Second chance I broke him off. It was a big fish. My bad……It was a lot of fun any ways. I’ll get me one this year.
