Summary: Flounder made a good showing the first part of the week with a 24inch doormat leading the pack but slowed when the weather warmed. Reds, both Bull and slot kept cut and surf anglers busy. Croaker were on and off, but when they were running anglers boxed plenty of big ones to 15inches. This coming week should provide some steady action.

Speckled Trout:
Slow but active with mostly keeper specks to 16inches hitting early and late. (Size/Limits- 15 to 25 inches for 10 specks with only one over 25 inches per day as part of the daily limit).

Red fish:
PRETTY DARNED GOOD with cut or surf anglers taking plenty of Bulls in the 40s and slots to 28 inches. (Size/Limits- 20 inches to 28 inches for 3 reds- with one over 28 inches when tagged as part of the 3 fish daily slot-limit).
