The weather has been really windy and a little chilly. Gary has fished with me in the past. We met at the Inlet Marina around 5 p.m. We had no problems catching our bait. We caught mostly pinfish. Once the sun started to set we moved over into the inlet and started fishing. The tide was incoming. The Snook were doing cartwheels on the schools of Mullet. They were just a little too close to the jetty. We had a hard time not tangling with the jetty fisherman.
Once it got dark it seemed like the fish moved out a little to the middle. That allowed us to catch a few. Gary and the bite were on fire. He was getting a hit on every bait. I ended up loosing count, but Gary must of caught 6 or 7 Reds and 3 Snook. One of them was a keeper. Once the tide slowed and started to move out, the mouth got to rough to fish. We moved inside and had a few pick ups, but just never got hooked up. Thanks again Gary for fishing with attitude, hope you enjoy your fresh Snook!
See you next month!

Weather was perfect. Calm wind and seas were 1-2ft. The tide in the Sebastian Inlet is incoming in the morning. The switch of tides is early afternoon. With the calm seas, I figured it would be a good day to look for some Cobia. Ken and I searched til we found a good weedline in some cleaner water. We found some small Triple Tail. I did catch one that was 20″ keeper. Let me tell you that was some seriously good eating! yums! We found three different Cobia.
First Cobia we choked on. It was the big one too. It was probably 50lbs. We spotted it twice more but no luck. Finally came across a 25lber that we put in the box. The next fish was short and we released it. We missed the Snook bite at the inlet but Ken caught a Jack and we seen a few Reds caught. It was a great day on the water. It had been too long since my last day in the ocean.

The weather has been not so hot the past week. We had rain and tropical storm winds for three days. The water is really dirty and at a high level right now. Not to mention the full moon! Well we decided to check it out and see what was happening. The tide starts incoming around 6 p.m. There are lots of schools of mullet moving through and the Blues and Jacks are having a field day. After catching our bait we played with Blues and Jacks on light tackle and had some fun. We fished the incoming tide most of the night. Thom caught the only big fish, an oversize Red.

The weather has been near perfect for the past few days. The humidity is gone and so is summer. Welcome fall! Welcome holidays! Al, Stacy, and Frank have fished with me for the past few years. I picked them up at Capt Hiram’s just after the TB Rays were eliminated from the playoffs. 
We went and caught plenty of bait(pinfish). A lot of mullet right now moving around the flats and the Sebastian Inlet area. Al was fishing some hand picks and caught a Ladyfish and a monster Bluefish. The tide in the Inlet is outgoing til 11 p.m. We fished the rough waters off the south jetty. It was extreme fishing at it finest! Al put the first fish on the boat of the night. It was a nice Red that weighed 23lbs. Stacy hooked up next and landed a big 34″ Snook. On the next drift, Frank joined in on the action and caught a nice Red. There were some BIG REDS in the inlet last night. Frank had the biggest of the night, which was approximately 35lbs. I guess I need a 60lb. Boga grip! Frank also had a 33″ Snook. Those were the only two snook caught. The Redfish bite was happening and we were hooking up on every drift.
The winds picked up around 10 p.m. and the tide started to slow. The fishing got a little difficult. We fished till about 11 p.m. and called it a great night! No keeper fish but a lot of keeper memories! Thanks Al, Stacy, and Frank it is always a blast fishing with you. Hopefully the weather will cooperate for our Thursday trip.
