Home Sebastian Inlet Fishing Report and Tips​

Sebastian Inlet Fishing Thrives Amidst Sargassum Surge

The Sebastian Inlet draws the attention of fishing enthusiasts who say there’s been activity in catch-and-release snook, jack crevalle, and redfish.

The outgoing tides seem to be the best times for catching catfish.

Despite challenging conditions caused by an invasion of sargassum seaweed this past week, persistent anglers have been doing well.

During the past week, anglers have used croakers, spoons, cut shrimp, and jigs as bait, particularly at the North Jetty, South Jetty, and the T-Dock area. 

Catch anything? We would love to feature your catch! Let us know how you did by sending us your name, hometown, fish, bait used, and where you caught your fish, with photos to info@sebastiandaily.com.

“My brother and I fish the inlet once a week,” Lardieri told Sebastian Daily.

Many anglers have reported considerable success, despite the seaweed’s adverse impact on their fishing efforts.

The outgoing tides seem to be the best times for catching catfish, but it’s been challenging with the sargassum. 

Sargassum Seaweed

Over the past week, we’ve received a few inquiries from community members about whether the accumulating seaweed poses a health risk. 

The seaweed itself is not toxic, but when it begins to decay, it releases a compound known as hydrogen sulfide, notorious for its distinctly disagreeable smell, similar to rotten eggs. 

While the seaweed doesn’t directly jeopardize human health, it’s worth noting that minuscule marine organisms inhabiting the sargassum may potentially lead to skin irritation or blisters.

Weather

The coming weekend is forecasted to be warm, with daytime highs reaching around 90 degrees and nocturnal lows approximately 72 degrees. The possibility of rainfall stands at 30 percent until the weekend, ramping up to 50 percent on Saturday and Sunday.

We expect a few showers in Sebastian, but these shouldn’t significantly disrupt fishing activities unless accompanied by lightning. Keep an eye on the weather developments and give the storms time to pass, which should happen rather swiftly.

Conditions appear to be favorable for boating enthusiasts, with calm waters forecasted. The sea is expected to rise a mere 2 feet with a light chop noticeable on the Intracoastal Waterway. Friday’s winds will be from the west at a gentle 5 to 10 knots, shifting to a northwesterly direction on Saturday with a similar speed.
