Reds and Croaker were the main catches from last week with reds running to 48 inches and Bull Croaker going to 18 inches. The red and croaker run is still ongoing and should get even better when a cool front hits next week to begin cooling bay waters – WHICH will start the flounder skittering through the pass to the Gulf. As bay waters cool, the trout action should heat up for anglers fishing the birds. The best fishing of the year is about to happen here at the pass, so keep an angler’s eye out for the report updates.
Mostly at night under lights with day time anglers catching a few on bottom rigged with live finger mullet. Dawn always provides promise near the bridge (Limit: 15 inches minimum for 10 trout with only one over 25 inch trout per day allowed as part of your daily limit).
Redfish (Red Drum)
Excellent runs of redfish through the pass providing anglers with some great opportunities for catching BIG fish (Limit: 20 inches 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
Good action for the keeper eater sizes (Limit: 14 inch minimum to 30 inch maximum for 5 fish per day with one OVER 52 inches allowed).
Flounder
Beginning to improve with every tide, with several 20 plus inch flatfish caught already. This year’s Fall run of flounder holds great promise for the flounder pounders (Limit: 14 inch minimum for 5 fish per day).
Sheepshead
SLOW (Limit: 15 inch minimum with 5 per day creel).
Gafftop Catfish
SLOW (Limit: 14 inch minimum for no limit creel).
Whiting/Croaker
Great whiting in the surf BUT AWESOME croaker in the cut with some 15 to 17 inchers being caught (No Limits).
Sandtrout/Gulftrout
SLOW (No Limits).
Blue Claw Crab
SLOW (Limit: 5 inches between points with no berry crabs (females with eggs) allowed).
Stone Crabs
A few stones coming in from the rocky areas (Limit: only right claw may be kept when 2-1/2 inches above first knuckle)
