The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly again explains this past week’s fishing activity. Great speck action was actively hooking anglers up to trout from 20 to 32 inches with most being oversized and releasable. Some really nice slot and bull reds were caught with some nice slot and bull drum as well. But the “Olde Saying” at the pass is one day heroes and one day zeroes. As of this day, the winds of change are blowing with a cool-down predicted for next week. Will the cool down change the fishing action? Only time will tell.
Speckled Trout
We’ve had unusual speck action with the specks ignoring trout green conditions choosing to feed in the off-color water only. But when they decided to hit, the action was “HOT” .
(Limit: 15 inch minimum for 10 trout with only one 25 inch trout per day allowed as part of your daily limit)
Redfish (Red Drum)
Good slot and bull red action this past week.
(Limit: 20 inch 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
The Spring drum run is about over with only a few nice keeper eaters and bulls hitting baits and troubling anglers.
(Limit: 14 inch minimum to 30 inch maximum for 5 fish per day with one OVER 52 inches allowed)

Steady but slowing flounder action.
