Buffeting changes in our weather definitely put the summer fishing patterns behind us, especially with Mexico’s Hurricane Patricia topping our weekend. But predictions of stabilizing cooler weather patterns arriving this coming Tuesday, visiting anglers will be testing Rollover waters for the flatfish run. BUT come Sunday, November 1st, the flounder limit will drop from five to two per day with only a two flounder possession limit. Hopefully sand trout, drum, and croaker will help to fill those fish fry boxes or you’ll be serving hot dogs with your flounder. YUCK!! That don’t even sound good!!
Speckled Trout
A few being caught in the cut and surf; look to East Bay for bird and trout action.
(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)
Good redfish action for slots and bulls on both sides of the cut as well as the surf.
(Limit: 20 inch minimum to 28 inch maximum for 3 reds per day – one over 28 inch red -plus bonus red- allowed when properly tagged in addition to your 3 fish limit)
Black Drum
Great drum action for both keeper eaters and bulls.
(Limit: 14 inch minimum to 30 inch maximum for 5 fish per day with one OVER 52 inches allowed)
Flounder
100s of males still moving thru the pass; hopefully this predicted cool down next week will get the larger females moving.
