Night-Time is fast becoming the Right Time for speck fishing as the growl of generators light up the sky marking the pass for those who enjoy. Day Time activity has been paying off for trout and flounder anglers as well. Croaker are moving into the pass for you croaker fanciers, but are mostly hand-sized fish. Drum are still an active item as well as whiting. Skipjack are starting to move in now so the Smacks (spanish mackerel) won’t be far behind- The sand trout haven’t really arrived in numbers yet but should soon. SUMMER is upon us now folks so enjoy it while it’s here.
