Today's forecast calls for sunny skies becoming partly cloudy, a daytime high of 85 degrees, NE winds at 9 mph,  and two to three-foot seas. 

“Good morning, Sebastian Inlet fans; I hope everyone enjoyed the ‘cooler’ weather last weekend. It wasn't so sweltering as it had been. Breezy and nice. With that said, this report is unfortunately brief due to uncooperative water conditions: high king tides and the 3 to 4-foot swells with an occasional rogue five-footer, making it pretty tough to fish. Waves washed over the jetty, the water was rough and dirty, and sargassum weed showed up as well. The only good thing I can say is that there were a ton of finger mullet and greenies around the entire inlet, but nothing messing with them. All I saw over the weekend were Spanish mackerel mixed with blue fish and jacks. Here’s a brief summary of the action spots:

North jetty: Most of the action was on the incoming tide with the Spanish mackerel being the topic of the weekend. Many fish were caught on live greenies fished on a float rig or freelined, also on tiny white jigs and gotcha lures. Most fish were in the 12 to 15-inch range, with Sunday being the better day. A lot of fish were caught. Other species I saw caught: undersized pompano, palmettos, and a few decent whiting, all on cut shrimp. Beachside of the jetty. No action on the snook or the redfish. I saw only one redfish caught over the weekend. The outgoing tide at the tip was just as slow — catfish, jacks and a few bluefish were caught on cut baits. That wraps up this side. It was really slow.

South Jetty: Same thing here. Dirty water and an exceedingly high tide making it tough to fish because the waves were smashing on the rocks where anglers usually like to stand and fish. The only fish I saw worth mentioning over the weekend were a few decent snook I saw caught at the tip of jetty, incoming tide on live pinfish and pigfish. Not much else except for puffers and catfish on the outgoing on dead shrimp. 

 T-dock area: Back here, the water was also dirty and few fishing it. Plenty of baitfish, but no predators in pursuit. 

Surf area, both sides: The surf on both sides was an absolute mess, with the high dirty water and the sargassum around. The rip tides just made it unfishable everywhere! Nothing to report here. 

Well, that's all I have for this week. Sorry, it is awful, but conditions will improve. The good news is the NNE winds has lowered water temperatures to 83 degrees as of this writing, which is a better that has been during this time of the year. Hang in there; conditions always improve as autumn is generally the better time to fish. Have a great week, everyone.” — Snookman.
