By Ed Snyder/Outdoors,

This weeks report is my final fishing report for 2012 until I start the February 2013 fishing reports. Until then, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas with a Safe and Happy New Year. See Ya’ll Next Year!

 
Summary: This past week saw the final runs of flounder as well as some very active red fish bites. Those straggler flounder passing thru will offer anglers a chance to catch some really big saddle blankets to 6 lbs or better.
