Sebastian Inlet Fishing Report – Dec 1, 2025 (Breezy Weekend & Slim Pickins)
Good morning all my Sebastian Inlet fanatics! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. It was a bit breezy to say the least.
Winds were sustained around 22 mph with gusts near 39–40 mph and seas up to 6 feet — not ideal conditions. The good news is the water did not get very dirty this time because winds were more ENE, so it shouldn’t take long to pick back up once things calm down. Water temperatures were still solid at 70–72°F.
We really only had Sunday that was fishable enough to get a decent look, and it was slim everywhere.
North Jetty
The only consistent fish I saw caught were at the tip on the outgoing tide: very small jack crevalle, bluefish, and blue runners on cut dead baits.
A couple nice sheepshead were caught on cut shrimp, plus two decent black drum on cut shrimp as well.
Snook and redfish were basically a no-show in daylight, with only a few reports at night on jigs.
South Jetty
Rough and mostly empty due to the swell and wind.
T-Dock Area
Fishless and/or too rough to fish with the ENE swell.
Surf – North & South
Beach fishing was very limited due to rough surf conditions.
This week is expected to improve with winds turning more westerly, which should help calm things down and clean the water back up.
Happy December!
