The redfish bite is 🔥, only looking to get better as water temps rise. Trout haven't been as consistent just yet, we're getting a keeper here and there

Greg knows his stuff! He took us around a few areas where we caught a variety of whiting, trout, flounder, and catfish. We left with enough fish to feed our group three times over. Greg was great about handling bait as well. His one-liners weren’t too shabby either.
