Last week (hopefully) breathed its last “chill” spell on our waters. With the warmth and humidity replacing the record breaking chill offs, the fishing action for Rollover and the surf should normalize. As of this writing, the specks, reds, and flounder were finding their way into anglers creels.
Speckled Trout
Fair to good, according to the tides and temps. Night-action is still “iffy” but promising.

Redfish (Red Drum)
Fair to good with some nice slot reds coming in.
(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)
