Summary: Shifting weather conditioned the bite last week. Red fish maintained their top spot for surf and turf anglers with catches of slot and bulls. Specks came alive with night and early morning anglers boxing good numbers. Flounder kept anglers guessing with mostly males but a few females showed to 24 inches. The Croaker run is still producing big ones.
