The bay fishing has been good throughout the past weeks. Catching speckled trout on both live and artificial baits. Especially in that Margarita Green Water they love so much. Redfish have been tougher lately but still hooking some solid reds when the wind kicks up. Snook are being caught on the south end of our bay system when the tides are active. It's a good time of the year to get the kids hooked up on some nice fish and create some lasting memories.
