Beautiful Texas Fall like weather has finally embraced Rollover Pass, and along with it hoards of anglers looking for the fun of catching fish. Golden croaker, redfish, and flounder are providing items of fun along with whiting, speckled trout, and drum. Predicted cool fronts will further guarantee the promise of “Fish Pass” as finicky critters make their way through the pass to the Gulf. It is time to enjoy what Autumn’s Rollover Pass has to offer folks.
