Sebastian Inlet to Eau Gallie Cswy. – September 2024
September is one of my favorite months to fish both inshore and nearshore from Melbourne to Sebastian. There has been more bait around in the lagoon this summer than we have had in several years and that should provide for a good mullet run as the last several years has been a bit on the slow side. Along with the mullet, the snook, trout and redfish should be plentiful. Snook season opens up September 1st and anglers will be out in droves trying to get their keeper fish. Sebastian Inlet will be packed day and night with people on the jetty and in boats, and the crowds don’t always bring the patience that’s required when fishing, so keep a cool head in the heat of the day and night and you will get your limit. Live bait during the day is best and live bait, jigs and lures all work well at night.
