Fishing Drops in Murky Waters; Child Struck by Lightning

Local anglers tell Sebastian Daily that fishing in the area has declined from last week, possibly due to the murky waters. Tragically, a 12-year-old faced a lightning strike at the Sebastian Inlet on Monday afternoon. He was transported to the hospital and is currently in stable condition.

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

Multiple factors might be causing the decline in fish numbers. These include elevated water temperatures and releases from the C-54 canal that flows from St. Sebastian River into the Indian River Lagoon and the Intracoastal Waterway. The murky waters should clear up after this week.

Despite the prevailing cloudiness in the waters, fishing enthusiasts are turning up with the hope of making a catch.

Mangrove Snapper sightings continue around the North and South jetties of the Sebastian Inlet. Some have also been spotted near the T-Dock and Catwalks of the inlet, though many are young. Note that they will be in-season only for a limited period in September.

Anglers seem to have varying bait preferences: while some lean towards greenies near the inlet, others opt for lures, glass minnows, and croakers to catch jack crevalle and catch-and-release snook. There are also reports of black margates and blue runners in the vicinity.

For the best chances, anglers suggest fishing during the onset of the outgoing tide, ideally in the early hours.

Fishing Weather

The weather remains hot, with consistent heat warnings. Staying hydrated is crucial, especially as this hot spell is forecasted to last for the next couple of weeks.

Rain likelihood is pegged at 80% around Wednesday and Thursday. Expect daytime highs around 90 degrees and nighttime lows nearing 75 degrees.

Current wind patterns indicate a south wind moving at 5-10 mph. However, it will shift to the southwest by Thursday and then make a directional change from the east by the end of the week.
