Note:  Croaker, whiting, and sand trout were the steady bites for the week with specks, reds, and flounder filling in the void for early bird anglers. The Spring flounder run is all but over as we settle into our summer fishing patterns. Night-time is the right time for specks and flounder giggers with early morning surf and bay producing for the early waders.
