Good Morning from Sebastian Florida

Good morning from the dock along the Indian River Lagoon in Sebastian, Florida. Here’s your WEEKEND waterfront weather, fishing, and wildlife report for Friday May 29, 2026.

A beautiful but hot morning on the dock.  There is barely any breeze and it is from the west when there is one and that doesn't do us much good from a cooling perspective.  

This mornings fishing was interrupted by NASA and a rocket launch that I caught in my video today!

🌤 Waterfront Weather Conditions

Lagoon Living Tip for the Day:

Plant native species whenever possible.

Native plants typically require less water, provide food and habitat for local wildlife, and help reduce fertilizer runoff that can eventually reach the Indian River Lagoon.

The Pelican Island Audubon society here has a great selection of native plants for sale and they will even give you 3 free trees just for coming by!

 

🎣 Fishing Activity & Wildlife Sightings

The water is so clear I just keep watching minnows, mullet, needlefish and all the rest swimming around.  There is a snook under the dock that is hitting on all the bait at times.

 

I saw grouchy the Great Blue Heron again today now just to the north of me.  The small Little blue is also around today.  Just 1 pelican out on the dock though.  They have been quiet lately.

🏡 Sebastian & Vero Real Estate Suggestion of The Day

Visit a neighborhood at three different times before buying.

A street can feel completely different at 8 a.m., 2 p.m., and sunset. Traffic patterns, noise levels, dog walkers, boat activity, school pickup lines, and even afternoon shade can reveal things that don't show up during a showing.
