Speckled trout are starting to run the beaches and near-shore reefs and we have been stacking them up when the wind allows. Flounder are migrating into the bay in better numbers. Redfish are still roaming the shallows. Bait shops are starting to have live shrimp more often, allowing more consistent catches.

The fish are very scattered, almost all the shrimp moved out of the marsh and the spawning is in their mind so all this combined makes the "catching " challenging. The good news is with weather patterns and temps settling the bite is going to be very very good starting this coming week
