Despite the effects from Tropical Storm Bill, Rollover Pass recovered quickly, providing some really great speck action for the trout wranglers. Reds and flounder were a bit slow on the comeback, but anglers were kept busy with drum, croaker, and gafftop. Flounder is a hit or miss option, but a few 18 to 20 inchers were landed.
Speckled Trout
Good trout action in the surf and around the bridge on the outgoing tides. Plastics are the key but live croaker, shrimp, or finger mullet will do the trick as well.
(Limit: 15 inch minimum for 10 trout with only one 25 inch trout per day allowed as part of your daily limit)
Redfish (Red Drum)
HIDING in the cut but active in the surf for slots and bulls.
