The forecast for today (October 7) calls for a high of 82 degrees, thunderstorms and clouds, East winds of 18 mph, and six to eight-foot seas.

 “Good morning, Sebastian Inlet fishing/birdwatching/sightseeing fans. It's another ‘not so good’ report due to the nasty conditions at the inlet all last week and throughout the weekend. The  entire inlet east of the bridge was mostly unfishable, especially the south jetty where huge waves washed over the jetty, rendering conditions unsafe to go out there, especially at high tide. Nobody was fishing.

The north jetty was also rough and wet with the huge waves busting up and over the deck, up through the grates in the center of the jetty, as well as along the shoreline between the jetty and bridge. I was at the inlet on Sunday and the waves had calmed down a tad and there were a handful of anglers fishing, but nothing was caught except the catfish that are usually present when conditions are rough and dirty. The water was extremely dirty, and choked with seaweed.  There were plenty of finger mullet, just nothing chasing them. The only place I saw or heard of fish caught was in the back, at the south side in the T-dock area; there were black drum and sheepshead caught on cut/dead shrimp. Not a lot, just a few. I also saw one angler catch an  undersized snook on the dock using a live mojarra, but that was pretty much it for back there. I also saw one boater west of the T-dock catching slot snook on live croakers. Like I said, it was slow everywhere. 

 Well folks, that's all I can tell you for now. Expect the remainder of the week to be rainy, windy with brisk onshore winds and big surf messing things up. Hopefully, conditions will calm down some so we can get back to ‘normal,’ whatever that might be anymore. Have a great and safe week!” — Snookman.
