Flounder were good before the storm nearshore . We will see what this storm has done. Alot of sewage got dumped and wastewater full of high levels of nitrogen. Sality levels have dropped inshore. Water is dirty . I won't know what's really happening until I fish tomorrow. Been prepping for a hurricane for the last week. Just got the boats serviced and back on the lift.

The redfish bite has been pretty solid along with the snook bite. I’m starting to see some really nice mangrove snapper show up at some local docks as well. Reef fishing has also been good of the wind isn’t blowing too bad. Snapper, grunts and sheephead have been chewing pretty good out there. The grouper have been chewing the floor out of the boat but unfortunately we can’t keep them right now.
