The forecast for today (Thursday, October 2) calls for thunderstorms, a high of 80 degrees, ENE winds of 17 mph and five to seven-foot seas!

It’s a couple of days late (not Snookman’s fault), but here is “Snookman” Wayne Landry’s fishing report for this week:

“Good morning, all you Sebastian Inlet fans, I hope you all had a great weekend! I don't have much to report, thanks to the tropical storm Ismelda that was churning out in the Atlantic off our coast. The north jetty was closed last Saturday and the park was also closed for the weekend by the Florida Park Service in Tallahassee due to the posted tropical storm watches and warnings that were issued for our area, which have since been canceled.

As of this writing the park has REOPENED, but the north jetty will remain closed until the large swell threat has departed. The surf report that I monitor is showing the waves at 9 to 11 feet through Friday, so don't expect the jetty to open before then. Also, expect the water to become  dirty and silted up. Before all this, last week there was a pretty good snook and redfish bite on the north jetty, incoming tide on shrimp, mullet and mojarra, plus the Spanish mackerel and lookdowns were biting pretty good as well. The south side was a bit slower due to the dirty water, but some snook and reds were caught on the incoming on pigfish, pinfish and mullet.
