This past week had its ups and downs but it looks like an upswing is now occurring with improved fishing action. Specks and sand trout are showing up in numbers for the night-shift anglers. Day-shifters are enjoying improved fishing for surf-waders angling for specks. Cut anglers are seeing a revived Bull Drum fishery along with Gafftop, Flounder, croaker, reds, and whiting keeping anglers interested. The weed problem has eased somewhat but rafts of weed-mats were spotted offshore near the beach. Let’s pray they don’t come in!
