We had a celebrity here at the pass this weekend as Actress Susie Stillwell of Los Angeles, Star of the Star Trek series as Klingon Princes Horokd-Rah. Miss Stillwell was here spending time with her Houston family fishing at Rollover Pass. Redfish in the surf and cut have been the key for some great fishing action. Golden croaker are now coming through the pass both day and night with mostly hand-sized fish being caught, with a few 12 to 14 inch man sized croaker boxed, but very few. The major croaker run should start after this next cool front. Everyone is waiting for the flounder run which should start happening with the next cool front. Specks will be massed in the bay feeding under birds. Those in the know will be out there chasing birds; those who don’t know will miss out on some of the years finest trout action. It’s all starting to come together folks, Tic, Tic, Tic!
