Year-round fishery. Snook stack at Sebastian Inlet in the warm months (harvest seasons apply) and the inlet's famous night snook bite is a local institution. Redfish and trophy trout fish the Indian River Lagoon flats best in the cooler, clearer months. Pompano run the inlet and the beaches in winter, and Spanish mackerel show spring and fall. Tarpon move through the inlet and along the beaches in late spring and summer. The Sebastian River holds snook and juvenile tarpon year-round and bass upstream. The inlet fishes hard on the moving tides; the lagoon is wind-driven.
