The beginning of last week the reds, specks, flounder, and drum were loading angler coolers. But then huge mats of sargassum weed moved in to stunt the fishing action. As of this writing, the weeds are still a problem. The trout, reds, flounder, and drum are still there BUT anglers can’t get at them due to the heavy weed banks. We don’t know when the weed problem will ease up, maybe tomorrow or next week, or maybe next month. Only time will tell.
