Summary: Surf is finally getting to the magic temp of 70 and should be providing trout action for the surf waders soon. This past week provided some excellent trout and redfish action with some specks reaching the 9 lb trophy mark with one 30 incher caught and released. BIG Redfish were also coming in with one BULL of 45 inches being landed and released. But the unusual catch of the week was a 12lb 9oz Triple Tail caught in Rollover last Saturday!
