Redfish bite is really hot... along with trout and snook in Ormond and Flagler. As for Port Orange the pompano, snapper and many others are chewing.

Been getting better in the Ponce inlet area with wind and swell coming down a bit. Still plenty of sheepshead, slot Reds, a few trout and starting to see some mangrove snapper and nice flounder.

Mangrove Snapper. The most realistic edible " keeper". 10 inch minimum and 5 apiece. White flaky meat with no pungent taste. Easy to catch on live shrimp utilizing a Carolina ( sliding) sinker rig.
