Challenging Week for Sebastian Fishing: Varied Catches, Black Drum Biting

North Jetty at Sebastian Inlet

North Jetty at Sebastian Inlet

The weather conditions at Sebastian Inlet have been unfavorable for fishing during the past week, and this trend will continue this week.

Got a catch to share? We’re eager to spotlight it! Share details about your bounty, including your name, hometown, type of fish, bait used, location, and pictures at info@sebastiandaily.com.

During our recent visits, we filmed our Sebastian Inlet Fishing Report. We’re excited to announce that more videos will be published soon so we can bring you the fishing experience. We aim to provide updates on the current week’s activities rather than reporting on the previous week’s events.

According to several anglers, the incoming tide is still the optimal time for reeling in a good catch due to the weather. 

This morning, two anglers contacted Sebastian Daily to report their catches at the North Jetty, which included sheepshead, catfish, redfish, pompano, and black drum. We were there recently when we saw a nice-sized catch-and-release snook. They used shrimp as bait for all catches.

If you’re looking for flounder, anglers tell us they are biting at the South Jetty using mud minnows.

We’re waiting for the weather to improve before returning, although the rain won’t keep the anglers away, and we can’t wait to hear what they caught. 

Fishing Weather

Yesterday, we released our Sebastian weather report, which forecasts the upcoming conditions. The days have been warm, yet nighttime temperatures are dropping to the 50s.

This week and the coming weekend will see windy conditions, ranging from 15 to 20 mph, with gusts reaching up to 25 mph. These conditions might make it less enjoyable at the inlet.

Wednesday’s forecast shows a high of only 62 degrees, dipping to an overnight low of 51. The weather is expected to warm up on Thursday and Friday gradually. The probability of rain will decrease to 40% on Thursday night and drop to 20% on Friday, with a low of 49 degrees.

However, the high will only reach 60 degrees on Saturday, with a low of 47. Expect similar temperatures on Sunday.

For boaters, the sea will have waves of 3 to 4 feet, occasionally surging up to 5 feet. Southeast winds at 15 knots are predicted to shift southwest later today. Small craft should exercise caution under these conditions.
