Sebastian Inlet lays claim to some of the best inshore and offshore fishing in the country. Bridging the gap between Brevard and Indian River County, it contains an enormous diversity of fish and wildlife that continues to bring fishermen to its waters year-round. The inlet connects the Indian River lagoon to the Atlantic Ocean, and within it, a multitude of hungry predators await. Sebastian has a semi-diurnal tide cycle, meaning there are 2 incoming and 2 outgoing tides per day. Between each tide cycle is a slack tide. The slowing of current can cause an uptick in feeding activity.

Depending on the time of year, the Gulf Stream is located approximately 20-28 miles from shore and carries an abundance of pelagic species in its current. This warm water highway is known for its Mahi, Wahoo and Sailfish. The nutrient rich waters are also beneficial for healthy reefs and habitats that are home to Grouper, Snapper, Cobia, Kingfish and Tilefish.
