Hello there all my Sebastian Inlet fishing junkies, hope everyone had a great weekend! Here we go with the FIRST report for March. Fishing on Friday, Saturday was pretty good, Sunday not so good, the winds had picked up a lot NNE. The water was clean, but still a bit cool at 69, but that was good for Friday and Saturday. On the north side west of the bridge I saw plenty of very nice sheepshead being caught, in the 2-3 pound range, and plenty just over the minimum. Live sandfleas were the bait of choice. In that same area there was a pretty good snook bite on live shrimp as well, the first of the outgoing tide, lots of small ones, but I did see a couple slots taken. And remember folks, in this area under the bride there is a fence blocking access to the east side of the bridge, it is labeled with a NO TRESSPASSING sign, as that area is a designated construction area. Please be mindful of that. Thanks.In the back, north side also some smaller snook on the incoming tide with live shrimp. A few black drum and sheepshead were caught as well. That's pretty much if for the north side. Also on the north side where the beach joins the jetty, that area of the north jetty is also labeled with signage stateing NO PRESSPASSING, STATE PARK BOUNDRIES. You CANNOT climb through the area under the jetty to fish on the other side, it is designated as a construction area and is off limits as well. 

South Jetty, from the tip and along the seawall.. Over here last week the snook bite has been really good from Wednesday through Saturday, and tapering off on Sunday while I was there. I was there for those days and I am glad to see the snook wanting to play! Everyone who had live shrimp pretty much caught some. Granted 90% of them were undersized, but there many slot fish caught I did see. Live shrimp, thumper jigs did the trick! The incoming tide was the time to be there. Sunday for whatever reason the bite for snook just went away, very slow, but a few were caught early morning. In the afternoon while I was there, a huge school of croakers moved in and came up the beach, birds diving in them nonstop, and the bigger snook were around as well to feed on them. The snook action wasn't hot by any means, but I did see several nice upper slot fish caught. It got crowded and many fish were hooked and lost. Also fishing along the rocks on the inlet side on Saturday they caught plenty of black drum, snook, big sheepshead, some whiting and pompano. Live baits, either shrimp or sandfleas. At the tip of the jetty on the outgoing tide it was all about the black margates, small jack crevalle, blue runners and hand sized sand perch. Cut shrimp was the bait for them. 

The T-Dock area has been pretty slow. I did hear about a few snook caught, mostly small, with a couple keepers, live majorra and shrimp. Sunday when I was back there, they were catching quite a few croakers and whiting on the end of the incoming tide. Cut shrimp. 

Well that's all I have for this report, not bad. It looks like the conditions for Tuesday through Thursday are going to get a bit crazy again with the seas and winds picking back up! So, if you do get out to fish, it might be roughed up a bit. Have a great week everyone!!  Snookman.
