Earlier today, we visited the Sebastian Inlet and found a number of anglers reporting slow fishing. While the bite might be slow right now, the tide is turning, and the fishing should improve later in the day. 🐟
@@sycoozzzz This weekend looks good for fishing, but watch out for afternoon thunderstorms. The National Weather Service warns of heat index values reaching 103. Stay hydrated and wear sun protection when visiting Sebastian Inlet. ✅
My experience in general when the winds get gustier the better the fishing. When the water is clear and you can see the smaller fish and the bottom it's bad. Also when its too hot i guess the water has less oxygen. I remember one day i saw the waves were pretty big and thought o well nothing is gonna happen but started to get some bites. From that day i only go fishing when the day is gusty and cool at the pier. I believe the hot temperature does affect fishing.
Your wind theory is interesting. Last year, the water in the Indian River lagoon got so hot it caused a massive fish kill. That definitely supports your theory about oxygen levels.
The month of September has great fishing, there's an abundance of bait and fish. As long as you can cast a line, follow the jetty's rules, and have a fishing license, you should be all set to fish there as a beginner. Jetty fishing requires a circle net to hoist your catch; retrieving it directly from the rod and reel might be difficult.
