Summary: The Black Drum run is in full swing now with anglers catching lots of keeper-eater drum to 27inches- March rains caused heavy brackish tides this last week but bay waters salting back up to normal salinity levels for improved fishing tides.
Speckled Trout- With surf temps warming into the mid-70s and salinity levels getting back to normal the speck action in the surf should heat up – when tides allow anglers using soft plastics nailing good specks from 3 to 7lbs- Night lighting is just around the corner – (Size and Limits- 15inches to 25inches for 10 specks with one 25incher per day when added as part of the daily limit)-
Redfish- Some cut action but mostly surf anglers catching steady reds when fishing beyond the 2nd or 3rd sandbars- (Size and Limits- 20inches to 28inches for 3 reds- with one over 28inches when tagged in addition to the 3 fish daily slot-limit)-
Flounder- Slow but steady flounder action for anglers fishing rollover bulkheads or bay-(limit- 14inches minimum for 5 flounder per day)-
Black Drum- Excellent drum action with anglers catching lots of drum to 27inches- REMEMBER drum OVER 30inches MUST be released -( Limits- 5 per day at 15- 30 inches)
Sheepshead- A few sheepshead being caught within the pass- (Limits- 15 inches minimum with 5 allowed per day)
Sand/Gulf Trout – A few nice gulf trout coming in on shrimp- (no limits-)
Whiting/Croaker- A few croaker but some really nice whiting in the surf- but the whiting action is HOT in the surf mainly along High Islands beach- ((Limits-No Limits)-
