The flounder run is definitely on BUT chilly arctic winds blowing in last week STUNNED the flat-fish, making them bury deep when the water temp dropped 10 degrees. But weekend tides coming from warmer bay waters helped recover the flounder for another run. Bull-Reds and Bull-Drum were active and speckled trout are popping pods of
shrimp coming through the pass to the gulf. Trout slicks are showing up, marking the active feeding areas. Another cold front due by this writing keep any predictions of a flounder run seriously in doubt.
Speckled Trout
