Despite icy weather creeping in to stun the flounder, the flatfish quickly recovered to continue their Fall spawning run. Flounder were caught from 14 inch to a 25 inch saddle blanket weighing 6.5 lbs. Nice slot and bull redfish also made a good showing with anglers boxing several to 44inches. The main flounder run has been active from 8 am through 11 am before slowing on the incoming tide change. This next week promises more flounder action with almost puurr-fect low 50s to low 70s predicted. Come and get-um Folks!!
Speckled Trout
Last weeks freeze out made the specks do a disappearing act with absolutely no specks caught here after the arctic blast. Mostly day-shift action as specks feed on the pods of shrimp coming through the pass. Watch for top-water or trout slick action.
