Our fishing guide, “Snookman” Wayne Landry highlights the fishing action at Sebastian Inlet in this brief report:

“Hello, Sebastian Inlet fans and fanatics; I hope you all have a great weekend! Here we go with this week's SLOW report of the fishing at the inlet. Most, if not all the action, was on the north jetty last week through the weekend, as the SSE winds at the end of the week just ruined the south side and turned it into a huge mud hole!

Last week (Wednesday through Friday), the water had warmed up to 70 degrees, sparking a short-lived bite of the fish. Drum, redfish, and some slot and oversized snook were caught in the early morning, just after sunup on live shrimp at the jetty tip on the incoming tide. The water here was clearer than the south side, so the fish played a little. Other species caught were sheepshead between the pilings and over the rock pile at the jetty tip on live sandfleas, shrimp, and fiddler crabs. Beachside of the jetty, I saw a few decent whiting caught on cut shrimp. On the outgoing tide, it was all about the bluefish and jack crevalle on anything tossed out — they are not picky! That's pretty much it for the north side.

Surf and the south side were slow due to the churned-up water; it was calm until Thursday when the winds switched and messed it up rough-wise. Catfish, rays and small sharks comprised most of the catches on both sides. This week will be windy and rough, and the water has dropped back down to 68 degrees. Temps may drop more due to west winds and the seas have kicked back up again, so I don't expect much until the water cleans back up and warms up again. That's it in a nutshell. You all have a great week!” — Snookman.
