Summary:  This past week loaded anglers up with a variety of fish which included specks, redfish, mackerel, sheepshead, drum, sand trout, croaker and gaff top. Proving Rollover pass alias “fish pass” is still very active fishery for anglers.

Speckled Trout: Good with anglers doing well during day and night on live and artificial baits.  Outgoing tides are the key.  (Size and Limits- 15″ to 25″  for 10 specks with one 25″ per day when added as part of the daily limit).

Redfish:  Slow but productive redfish action in the cut as well as the surf. But undersized rat reds are beginning to show.  SO as a warning watch out for those spot-tail croaker or you‘ll be paying instead of playing.   (20″ to 28″ for 3 reds- with one over 28″ when tagged in addition to the 3 fish daily slot-limit).

Flounder:   Slow but anglers working the bayside bulkheads are still catching flounder, mostly undersized with a few keepers mixed in. Wading or gigging the rollover bay area is the best for flounder pounders right now.  (Limit- 14″ minimum for 5 flounder per day).

Black Drum:  Good with lots of keeper eaters coming in but be aware of those puppy drum and throw them back.   REMEMBER!  ALL drum under 14″ and over 30″ MUST be released- NO TAGGING.         (Limits- 5 per day at 15- 30 “).

GAFF-TOP:  SLOW – Intracoastal canal best bet. (Limits-14″ minimum no creel limit).

Sand/Gulf Trout – Picking up with lots of good sized sand trout being caught within the cut. (No limits).

Whiting/Croaker:  Excellent croaker and whiting in cut and surf.  (Limits-No Limits).

Crabbing : GREAT CRABBING for nice keeper sized blues.  (Blue limits- must be 5″ across carapace (point -to-point), no creel limits.  BUT ALL SPONGE CRABS (egged females) MUST BE RELEASED!  Stone Crabs: largest claw is kept ONLY if two are present- kept claw must be 2 ½ ” from the knuckle)-

Shark – Tips are abundant in surf. (Limit- 1 at 24″)
