Spring came to Rollover for a short time. During this period of sun and active fishing the BIG TROUT came to play, flounder provided numerous dinners, behemoth black drum snapped lines, broke rods taking some with them, and the bull redfish planted plenty of smiles on anglers faces. BUT what Mother Nature giveth she can also taketh away. With YET another Cold Front heading our way promising SNOW in Amarillo and 30 degree temps in Houston, our fishing action of yesterday is in doubt for tomorrow. Hopefully the effects of this chill down will be limited and the warmth of Spring will be back soon.
Speckled Trout
