Cold weather is bringing in larger schools of fish near shore. Sea trout are in abundance. This time of year you will find black drum gathering in holes as the tide goes out. 64 fish were caught this pass Sunday- 2 adults and 1 child

Fishing has been good with light winds. Pods of redfish and black drum have been showing themselves. Trout and flounder can still be caught along the Intracoastal waterway. Mornings have been nice with cooler temperatures it's been nice relief from the heat.
