Hit or Miss on the speck bite. After tiresome casting and switching baits and colors until they decide to start feeding…then it’s “Katie Bar The Door” for big and small trout with anglers asking “WHAT COLOR? CURLY OR PADDLE TAIL? SOFT OR HARD BAIT? SLOW OR FAST RETRIEVE? and so forth until they suddenly shut down! The flounder ARE here but only one in 20 are keepers. Redfish are slow in the cut but great in the surf or bay. It’s still February folks, and winter is still amongst us. Just be a bit more patient and Spring will finally Spring!! (Special Note: Check Miss Nancy’s Bait Camp on Facebook for daily fish photos update.)
