The dreaded two flounder a day limit is here; BUT even more dreaded is the 2 flounder possession limit per day, which means if you keep 2 flounder then catch another limit of two the next day you can be fined for those two you kept; don’t seem right, but that’s the law folks, so be careful. This past week was good for anglers who caught redfish, drum, flounder, and croaker. Now that the weather is cooler the fish are more active; the flounder run IS definitely on with more of the larger females coming off the flats and through the pass. Bay-waders are having a ball right now.
Speckled Trout
Specks are showing up in the pass for anglers, with one gator of 28 inches caught last week, but most are 15 to 20 inches and hitting day and night.
(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)
Very good redfish action on both sides with anglers catching both slot and bulls.
(Limit: 20 inch minimum to 28 inch maximum for 3 reds per day – one over 28 inch allowed when properly tagged.)
Black Drum
Excellent drum action with good limits of keeper eaters being caught.
(Limit: 14 inch minimum to 30 inch maximum for 5 fish per day.)
