The beauty of this time of the year is that I love going nighttime fishing. The daytime fishing is still good, but like most white ppl, I dont tan, I burn. Sebastian is still producing trophy size red fish in the inlet. Going prepared is key though. Bring plenty of live bait, if you have cut bait, make sure it is fresh, for some reason they have been skiddish biting on freezer burned frozen mullet and shrimp. I would suggest live pin fish or finger mullet (if you can catch em), I havent seen a very consistent bite on shrimp, so I would stick to what works. There is a window of about 4 hours I have been experiencing the past two weeks were they are only biting from about 11PM, till about 3-4AM, then the bite dies off. From the slack tide, till the end of the incoming high tide is your best bet, so make sure you check the times for best results. Let me talk about location. The north side pier: (on slack tide) the inlet, and (incoming tide) the beach side. Ive been using 2 oz egg weights with medium to large circle hooks. On the inlet side, FREELINE is key unles you like catching rocks. Average catch a night is 10+ redfish, and usually at least one keeper (most are WAY to big to keep). Thanks for reading my report, I hope you get a chance to go out and tear em up like I have...

One more note: Bring bug reppelant
 
Sebastian inlet is one of my favorite places to fish from shore because of the opportunity to catch so many different kinds of fish. I had the chance to fish it twice last year, beautiful place.
 
I used to live down in that area. My parents still live down there. Mom works at the gift shop w/ the food and all that's on Sebastian Inlet.
 
Sebastian is consistantly a great place to go fishing and never leave dissapointed. My favorite part of the year in Sebastian would be around mid September on a full moon with a live well brimming with bait. Hopefully this year they dont delay snook season again cause that would be a bummer to all of us who wait around months and months to go out and tear em up..We will find out how they do this year during the winter, hopefully not a bad freeze like we had a couple years ago cause that would not only delay the season next year, but kill off most of the spawning population of snook..Not good!! I remember going out to the south end of the flats and seeing belly up snook floating in the water by the half dozens..What a disaster..This year they are doing better so we will see...
 
I heard a report on a possible great white shark sighting in the Sebastian inlet....if u do a google search it will probably show you.
