Overall good action last week for trout and flounder anglers. Night-shift anglers did well on specks, usually from dark/30 to midnight, while day-shift anglers did well for trout on the gulf-side. Bay-side bulkhead anglers did well on flounder and croaker; lots of hand-sized croaker were boxed for those family fish fries. Surf waders had minimum trout action with very few specks. Bay-waders did well on small trout and flounder on the early tides. HOT weather keeping the fish action on the early and late tides. CRABBING is superb right now on both sides of the cut with the gulf side doing better. The ANNUAL September redfish run is just around the corner, along with the golden croaker run. Get Ready Folks!
