The bay fishing has been tougher lately, but we are still catching some solid fish. This super hot weather has pushed most of the fish into deeper waters. Catching some heavy speckled trout on both live and artificial baits. Working the deepest water I can find with heavy rigs and slow-moving baits. Catching a few redfish out on the grass flats once the wind starts to pick up. Expect the bite to get better throughout the next couple of weeks.
