Today's (November 3) forecast calls for sunny skies, a high of 76 degrees, NNW winds of up to 17 mph, and one to two-foot seas. Similar conditions on Tuesday. 

Our fishing guide, "Snookman" Wayne Landry, is chomping at the bit to write an uplifting fishing report, but ocean conditions have other ideas:

“Good morning all my Sebastian Inlet fans and friends! I hope everyone had a great weekend. The weather was great, but unfortunately the fishing wasn't so good due to the poor water quality in and around the inlet. The water was dirty and tannin-stained from the freshwater runoff flowing into the ocean from the Sebastian River/C54 canal. The fish don't like that. The water temps are where they should be and finger mullet are still around, but nothing is feeding on them. So, this report is going to be another brief one as there wasn't any action to speak of all weekend. 

North jetty:  Over here, all I saw all weekend caught were jacks, and lots of them, small bluefish, ladyfish and kitty fish. The fact that the tide was an outgoing one all day, and it was very dirty didn't help much. I talked to all my hardcore snookers and they said it was pretty slow early morning and late evening when the tide was incoming, just weren't any fish around. 

South jetty: Same thing goes over here, jacks, small blues, ladyfish, kitties and puffers. On the late incoming there were a few small snook caught on live pinfish, but nothing to brag about. Most were undersized. 

 T-Dock Area: Not much back here either, a few small mangroves around the dock pilings, a couple of small sheepshead on dead shrimp, and of course the pesky puffers that are everywhere back here! For those fishing with silver spoons and jigs, some jacks and bluefish are around in the channel area. 

 Surf area, both sides: Even though the surf calmed down a lot, not much to talk about due to the absolutely dirty water. About the only thing I saw or even heard about were plenty of kitty fish, and a couple small whiting on the north side beach, otherwise, deadsville. 

Well folks, that's it in a nutshell for this week. The winds are expected to be pretty brisk NNE for the next several days, so don't expect too much change. If the wind blows more northerly, it might clean the water up some. We'll see. Have a great week!” — Snookman.
