Today’s forecast calls for sunny skies, a high of 77 degrees, ESE winds of 10-12 mph, and one to two-foot seas.

Here’s this week’s fishing report from our fishing guide, “Snookman” Wayne Landry, who has fished at Sebastian inlet for more than 50 years: “Good morning,  Sebastian Inlet fishing friends. I hope everyone enjoyed the nice springtime weather last weekend! Expect similar weather all week long.

This report will be brief as the fishing was slow all weekend, based on my observations and what I heard from others. I believe the water temperature is still playing a big role in the lack of fishing action and the lack of any baitfish in the water. I was at the inlet both days over the weekend and not much was caught. At the south jetty in the early morning incoming tide there were several under slot snook caught on live mojarra, and a few redfish, which you still cannot keep.  At the tip on the outgoing tide, all I saw caught were smaller black margates on dead shrimp. I did hear about a couple of keeper flounder caught in the pocket area on the beachside of the jetty — live shrimp did the trick on them. And that was pretty much it.

 Back around the T-dock and cleaning station, there was a decent snook and redfish bite on Saturday, both tides, on live mojarra. One of my friends said she caught four nice redfish, (which you cannot keep because season is still closed), and three snook; one under slot, and two over slot. She returned on Sunday and in the same area caught a 31-inch slot snook on the very first cast! After that, only a couple under slots were caught. I didn't see much of anything else caught back here as the  T-dock is closed, and that is where we see the other species caught. 

The surf areas north of the north jetty and just south of the south jetty have been slow due to the cooler water temperatures, still at 73 degrees as of this writing, and the silted-up water. About the only thing I saw caught in these areas over the weekend were a couple of nurse and bonnet head sharks.

That's all I have for this week guys and gals. Fishing will improve when warmer water arrives and remains, oh, and more baitfish will return. Have a great week and enjoy this weather. Cheers!”  — Snookman.
