It’s the end of an era. Tommy Turowski, who provided us with the content for our weekly fishing reports, has hung up his tackle. When it came to fishing, Tommy had probably forgotten more about the subject than most us will ever know. A big thanks to Tommy for tracking the catch for the District’s reports all these years. We hope to have this great guy back one day soon.

Tommy at the Sebastian Inlet Bait Shop reports a turnaround in the catch. Big jacks, big reds in the channel caught on top water lures and snook all were reeled in the last few days. Remember Snook season has closed, check with FWC for current rules and regulations here https://myfwc.com/fishing/saltwater/recreational/.

A big shout out to our featured angler of the week - Max Young - with his FIRST slot Snook!  Max tells us he's fairly new to fishing salt, but is absolutely hooked.  This Snook was caught at Sebastian Inlet near the South Ranger Station entrance using free-lined Majara.  We love to hear that your hooked on fishing the inlet...fish on!

At 12:01 a.m., Snook season officially reopens in Atlantic waters and a lot of anglers have been counting down…  Always remember to follow Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission rules and regs. You can find a copy of the 2020 Quick Guide here.  For Snook, your daily recreational bag limit is 1 per harvester, and it must be between 28″ and 32″ to be a keeper.  You must have your FWC…

Some gusty winds and good wave action at the inlet right now, so not a whole lot of folks on the North Jetty, but Tommy tells us the fishing has been good!  Check out our webcam with real-time weather, tide charts and more.

Hot summer days at the inlet with the typical afternoon thunderstorms rolling through are the norm this time of year.  We hear the fishing action has been pretty much the same with lots of Mangrove Snapper around.  You’ll find them throughout the inlet system so try your luck at a new fishing spot somewhere in the State Park.  You’ve got lots of options – the jetties, catwalks, shorelines, by the…

It’s a gorgeous day at the inlet, on the hot side at 84.8 degrees right now, but beautiful…Tommy tells us.  Mangrove Snapper are running again and anglers are getting hits all over the inlet.  Try fishing from the jetties, catwalks, shorelines, cove and Tdock.  We hear they were biting really good early this morning on low tide.

We’re back with the latest fishing report from our friend Tommy at Sebastian Inlet Bait and Tackle.  Even though the North Jetty remains closed, we anticipate it will open soon after Sebastian Inlet State Park rangers have had a chance to inspect it for public safety.  We thank you for your patience as they work to get fully operational again, and there are plenty of other places to fish the inlet…

Anglers tell us there have been a lot of Spanish Mackerel out there, mainly around the jetties.  Use your little spoons, jigs and Gotcha lures to target them. 

Tommy at Sebastian Inlet Bait & Tackle tells the fishing has really picked up.  Mangrove Snapper are running throughout the inlet and in the backwaters hitting on their favorite bait, live shrimp.  You have your choice of fishing spots at the Park to target these guys from land.

This week we are moving offshore to shine the spotlight on our featured angler of the week – Andrew Simpson.  Bill and Sean Russell, along Paul Hensley and brothers Andrew and Tyler spent the day offshore near Sebastian Inlet on June 17.  Bill tells us it was a “beautiful day, caught Sharks, Lane Snappers, Trigger Fish and Red Snapper.  The highlight of the day was a 36 ¼ Red Snapper caught by…

An inshore report from less than two weeks ago comes to us from our featured angler of the week – Margaret Walls.  She tells us there was “great fishing during the full moon, just about an hour before dusk and during the night-time hours.  Lots of Snook and slot Reds were biting.  This Snook was safely released back into the water.”  If Margaret looks familiar, that’s because she was featured a…

Despite the usual afternoon thunderstorms we see over the summer, the weather this past week was better and looks to be more of the same this week.  Hot but sunny days with some isolated showers here and there.  So for all you anglers, find some time to go drop a line...

From what we hear, while there has been some action at the inlet this past week, fishing hasn’t been spectacular.  Partially because of the weather, and it looks like your best bet weather-wise this week are on Thursday and Friday.

Check out this massive bull Red and our featured angler of the week – Margaret Walls.  She tells us that Reds were hitting on floating crab on the outgoing tide in the channel West of the bridge and around the T-dock area.  Looks like you had a great day out on the water, Margaret!  Thanks for submitting your photo.

As you head back out to Sebastian Inlet State Park to enjoy world-class fishing, we hear there has been decent action on the North Jetty.  Tommy from Sebastian Inlet Bait & Tackle tells us anglers are bringing Snook, Redfish, Bluefish and Pompano over the rails. 

With Sebastian Inlet State Park starting a phased reopening, we hope to resume regular fishing reports.

Sebastian Inlet District officials are putting the weekly fishing report on temporary hiatus until further notice.  Thanks for your patience and understanding!

A brisk SSE wind, rough seas and general weather conditions are making it a challenge for anglers out there right now, but we see a few brave souls on the webcam.  The fish are around according to Sarah at Sebastian Inlet Bait & Tackle; Snook, Redfish, Pompano, Jacks, Black Drum and some good-sized Bluefish.  The NOAA forecast has the weather turning mid-week.  Thursday and Friday, East winds top…

Yesterday was a beautiful day to fish the inlet and Tommy at Sebastian Inlet Bait & Tackle tell us the Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish were running.  There’s been a lot of good action at the inlet lately and anglers are reporting catches of Snook, Redfish, Sheepshead, Black Drum and even a few Flounder this past week.

Thanks to everyone who has been sending in pics and details from their fishing trip to Sebastian Inlet!  The Contact Form on our site is back up and running so send us your info if you want to be featured as angler of the week…

Just got the report from Sarah at Sebastian Inlet Bait & Tackle.  There’s been lots of Snook on outgoing tide hitting shrimp, baitfish and your top water lures.  We are still getting reports of massive Redfish being caught on the outgoing tide too.  Use crab, shrimp, clams and sandfleas. 

With the glorious weather this past weekend, anglers have been out on the North Jetty reporting all kinds of action and Tommy at Sebastian Inlet Bait & Tackle said things have been hopping! 

A shout out to our featured angler of the week - Abderrahman Raky – who caught this Black Drum off the North Jetty on January 13 with frozen shrimp.  Nice catch Abderraham and thanks for sending in your pic! 

Tommy at Sebastian Inlet Bait & Tackle tells us there’s been some good action at the inlet recently.  Anglers have been catching a lot of Black Drum off the jetties, and both jetties are open after being closed temporarily for public safety by Park officials due to weather and rough surf blowing out the grates on the North Jetty.  Try for Sheepshead from the catwalks under the bridge and…

It is a beautiful day out at the Sebastian Inlet right now and now that winds have slowed, fishing is picking up again with the calmer seas.  Tommy tells us he’s seen a lot of big Sheepshead anglers have been reeling in on the North Jetty.  Black Drum have been hitting pretty good too.  Just check out last week’s featured angler for verification on that...  Small shrimp, clams and sandfleas are…

The weather this week is expected to be gorgeous and the bite is good on the North Jetty with anglers bringing in Pompano, Sheepshead and Black Drum.  Definitely time to get out there and drop a line.  Use small shrimp, sand fleas and clams as your best bait.  Spanish Mackerel are here and Bluefish are just beginning to show up.  Use your Gotcha lures, spoons and bucktails to reel them in.

Just back from a trip to the inlet and the fishing is hot everywhere!  Finally a break in the weather and rough surf is giving anglers a chance to drop a line from the North and South jetties and we saw a lot of anglers out there this morning doing just that.

A shout out to our featured angler of the week - Melissa Pierce (and this adorable little guy!) - who has been fishing the inlet while the Flounder bite has been hot.  In late November, she sent in a few photos of Flounder she caught off the South shoreline with live mullet and two weekends ago, she brought in this nice-looking fish with a little bit of help from the guy you see in the photo.  Way…

Fishing continues to be fantastic, and the question isn’t what’s biting…it’s what’s NOT biting!  West of the catwalks, the Flounder bite has been hot and we see lots of anglers out there bottom fishing.  Sarah from Sebastian Inlet Bait & Tackle told us they are catching 2-5 pounders from the South shoreline, and recommended your best bet in reeling these in is live shrimp, finger mullet or jigging…

Congratulations to our featured angler of the week – Belly Policarpio from Orlando.  Check out these beautiful Spanish Mackerel she and her husband caught off the North Jetty on a recent trip to Sebastian Inlet!  Belly tells us they hit the bag limit and it sure looks like it was a beautiful day to be out there.  Thanks for sending in your photo and story Belly.

It was a beautiful weekend at Sebastian Inlet and anglers have been sending in pics of their catch left and right, so bundle up and get out there.  Anglers have been bringing in Spanish Mackerel, Pompano, Black Drum, Permit and Sheepshead, and the action has been hot really throughout the inlet system with a lot of boats bottom fishing for Flounder just West of the bridge.  There have still been…

Just got off the phone with Sarah at Sebastian Inlet Bait & Tackle and the fishing has been out of this world.  The fish are biting and anglers are bringing in Bluefish, Jacks, Spanish Mackerel, Redfish and Pompano on lures, live shrimp and live bait.  The mullet are running so plenty of live bait to be had.  There’s been action everywhere – the North and South Jetties, the beach, throughout the…

Anglers have been reporting a good Pompano bite on the beach and some nice Black Drum have been coming over the rails on the tip of the North Jetty with clams, frozen shrimp and sand fleas as ideal bait for targeting both.  On the tide changes, Sarah and Tommy have been seeing some nice keeper Snook and Reds.  Your best bet is live shrimp, finger mullet or lures.  Spanish Mackerel have also been…

We hear that fishing has been GOOD off both jetties and throughout the inlet.  There’s a mix of Snook, Reds, Black Drum, Spanish Mackerel and Pompano to be had.  Finger mullet are still around and making good bait fish, and shrimp are a good option too.  Go see Sarah and Tommy at Sebastian Inlet Bait & Tackle for the latest…  No one knows fishing the inlet better than these two!

Fishing has been good at the inlet - time to get out there.  Thank you to everyone who sent in reports and photos from your trips this weekend!  Some nice keeper Snook and Reds in those shots and we’ll make sure to feature you all as the angler of the week in upcoming fishing reports.

Our friend Tommy at Sebastian Inlet Bait and Tackle tells us the fishing has been pretty good.  Winds and seas have calmed down a bit since last week so anglers are finding it easier to fish from the jetties.  The finger mullet have been running so there’s ample bait and the shrimp look good too.  Anglers have been bringing in Snook, Reds, Spanish Mackerel, Jacks and some Black Drum off the North…

We talked with our friends Sarah and Tommy at Sebastian Inlet Bait & Tackle and by all reports, rough seas are giving anglers a challenge fishing from the jetties.  Anglers have been pulling in some Black Drum, Pompano, and a few nice keeper Reds and Snook.  Snook started biting around 4:00 p.m. yesterday on shrimp.  For now, the lagoon-side of the inlet is your best bet in dropping a line and we…

The Indian River Lagoon is stacked with finger mullet which has brought in a variety of fish into the inlet.  Anglers are reporting catches of some small Flounder and Mangrove Snapper have been biting on shrimp close to the catwalks.  Sarah at Sebastian Inlet Bait & Tackle has been seeing some keeper Snook and Reds on the tide changes.  Shrimp is the bait of choice there too.  Folks are starting…

The North Jetty is open again, but rough conditions have made the fishing at other spots within the inlet a better choice for all you anglers out there.  We’ve had significant E/NE winds and large swells that have made it challenging on both of the jetties.  Check our webcam for current weather conditions, live feed video, tide charts and more.

It’s what you’ve all been waiting for…Snook season is back, officially opened on September 1 for all you anglers out there!  Pleased be advised, the North Jetty at Sebastian Inlet State Park remains closed, but vendors are working on replacing the grates and Park officials hope to open it very soon.  That being said, there are plenty of places to drop a line on both the North and South sides of…

To all our anglers out there, we are taking a mini-hiatus, but the fishing report will return as we head into Snook season.  In the meantime, we have had some wonderful summer weather at the inlet and there are Mangrove Snapper, Blue fish, Spanish Mackerel and more to be had.  Call Tommy or Sarah at the Sebastian Inlet Bait & Tackle at (321) 768-6621 for the latest news of the action going on in…

Fishing at the inlet has been pretty good and we have been getting reports of a lot of offshore action lately.  At the inlet, the Mangrove Snapper have been running!  Live or frozen shrimp or little greenies will help you bring them in.  FWC Rules & Regulations require Mangrove Snapper to be 10 inches or bigger to keep, and each anglers limit is 5 per day.  Tommy at Sebastian Inlet Bait & Tackle…

Expect to see the typical summer stock out there around the inlet.  Anglers are bringing in Spanish Mackerel on Gotcha lures, small spoons and bucktails.  Blue Runners and Jacks will hit on those too, and you can pick up a few summertime Mangrove Snapper on live shrimp or greenies.  Know you FWC rules, regulations and limits!
