The colder temperatures didn’t keep anglers away from the Sebastian Inlet. They were out in full force catching everything except flounder.

Jason Ogilvie of Sebastian (pictured above) took his boat 14 miles straight out from the inlet, where he caught a mixed bag of reef fish, mangrove snapper, lane snapper, porgy, bluefish, and kingfish. They were all caught using threadfins and squid.

“I use Daiwa Saltist 40 with a medium heavy rod and Daiwa BG 5000 spinning outfit in a medium heavy,” he told Sebastian Daily.

Ogilvie says he tried to fish offshore Sebastian about twice per month.

Dillion Nelson and friends

Dillion Nelson (Instagram @wildnelson_adventure) and his friends caught all snook at the Sebastian Inlet. They are from Cocoa and love to fish in Sebastian.

They caught the snook by bouncing the jigs off the bottom, which triggered the bites. 

Snook season has closed and reopens on Feb. 1, 2023. Snook must be released unharmed.

Duke Thompson at Sebastian Inlet

Duke Thompson, 14, of Vero Beach, caught a redfish using live mullet on a Daiwa Saltist reel. He fishes the inlet almost daily.

When using live mullet for bait, most anglers hook them through the mouth by running the hook through the bottom and top lips, just before the eyes.

Also, ensure the hook point comes out before the eyes to ensure natural movement. The mullet should swim freely without much resistance, as this is the most natural way to present it.

It’s the ideal way if the current is strong.

Dan Miehle of Sebastian

Dan Miehle of Sebastian caught a sheepshead on the South Side Catwalk at the inlet during the outgoing tide. He fishes the waters every weekend, either at the inlet or from his boat. 

“I was using live shrimp on a 1/0 Circle hook and 2oz weight knocker rig,” he told Sebastian Daily.

Miehle also used a Tsunami SaltX 4000 reel. The reel combines a lightweight aluminum design with incredible power and reliability. The SaltX features a stainless steel main gear, stainless steel shaft, seven sealed stainless steel ball bearings, and fourteen seals throughout the reel to keep water, sand, and salt on the outside of the reel. 

If you plan to do some fishing, let us know how you did and the tackle you used by sending us an email. We love to receive your fishing pictures too!
