Summary: Surf is finally getting to the magic temp of 70 and should be providing trout action for the surf waders soon. This past week provided some excellent trout and redfish action with some specks reaching the 9 lb trophy mark with one 30 incher caught and released. BIG Redfish were also coming in with one BULL of 45 inches being landed and released. But the unusual catch of the week was a 12lb 9oz Triple Tail caught in Rollover last Saturday!

Summary: As before, last weeks fishing activity bordered around the weather with prefront and postfront tides allowing anglers to catch quality fish such as specks to 8plus lbs- reds to 39inches- flounder to 21inches- and drum to 37inches. But the catch of the week was caught during a BLOW-OUT cold front for a rollover rare Triple Tail

Summary: Last week’s angling at the pass provided both poor and excellent results. On bad weather days, dirty tides gave up seaweeds and hardheads. With good weather, clearing tides providing some excellent speckled trout, drum, and whiting catches for the anglers.
by Ed Snyder/Outdoors
Summary: This past week saw anglers catching quality specks from 4 to 8 plus lbs. With the surf temp FINALLY warming up the speck activity will only get better. NIGHT ANGLERS MAN YOUR GENERATORS. Unusual for this time of year were the pompano catches. These excellent table fish have been showing up on clear water
By Ed Snyder/Outdoors
Summary: This past week provided good fishing for anglers both in the Gulf for whiting and in the pass for flounder, drum, and speckled trout. Despite the predicted cold front due this week SPRING has finally sprung.
By Ed Snyder/Outdoors
Summary: Good to FAIR to EXCELLENT Depending on the weather and water conditions this past week provided either hard-head catfish bites or Mega-Trout and Drum action, when the bite was on speck action was good with several 4 to 9 pounders, hooked on live shrimp or soft plastics. EXCELLENT Drum action was had for anglers with a few good reds
By Ed Snyder/Outdoors
Summary: This past week started great with mega-specks hitting early. But the chill of another cold front blew in to ebb the bite. A painfully slow warm up brought the bite back. Presently the surf temp is in the mid 60s providing good action for drum, reds, sand trout, sheepshead and flounder. If the warming trend continues the Spring Bite should heat up providing good fishing action at the pass.
By Ed Snyder/Outdoors
Summary: Back to back cold fronts chilled the surf temps keeping the bite down for the most part. Good reports on specks earlier last week faded from those 5 to 8lb class trout to a few 2lbs. Reds and drum were busy though, mainly on the Gulf side where several Bulls were caught. Sheepshead showed up in good numbers for anglers fishing the bay and gulf side with flatfish hugging the bulkheads on the bay side. After this weeks cold front
By Ed Snyder/Outdoors
Summary: Back to back cold fronts with up and down water temps controlling the bite. Good reports on specks and reds when up but no reports when down. Plenty of drum and sheeps head keeping anglers busy.
By Ed Snyder/Outdoors
Summary: This past week started out good with drum, reds, and sheeps head keeping anglers busy with a few nice flounder adding to the creel. But back to back fronts chilled the surf and muzzled the bite for the most part. If and when the surf temp warms back up into the 60s the bite should improve greatly. As of Sunday 24th, the bite was improving.

This past weeks fishing produced mostly reds, drum, sheepshead, and flounder with the reds and drum mainly hitting on the Gulf side with the flounder, sheeps-head, and some reds and drum hitting on the bay side. No speck action after weds of last week but when they were in a few nice ones were caught.

Summary: First report for 2013; Mainly hit or miss at the Pass right now with the surf temps shifting from winter to spring. The magic temp is 68 degrees. As of now temps are fluctuating in the 50/60s. But when bait passes thru the cut the bite improves. Previous runs saw flounder, reds, drum, sand trout, sheepshead, with a few specks showing up. But now
By Ed Snyder/Outdoors,
This weeks report is my final fishing report for 2012 until I start the February 2013 fishing reports. Until then, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas with a Safe and Happy New Year. See Ya’ll Next Year!
By Ed Snyder/Outdoors
Summary: This past week experienced the chill of the north and the final runs of flounder thru the pass. Only stragglers are coming through now but among those stragglers will be the larger saddle blankets weighing heavy on the angler lines of those lucky enough to catch them. Red fish are still active on both sides of the cut with many slot and bulls caught- Prayers go out to those innocent souls lost at the Sandy Hook Tragedy.
By Ed Snyder/Outdoors
Summary: Night action for specks this past week was good for specks to 26 inches. Best hours were between 11pm and 3am. Daytime activity centered mainly on flounder with many 20 inch plus flatfish hitting the boxes. Redfish showed up in good numbers with many Bulls and slots keeping anglers busy. December 1st marks the end of the 2 a day for flounder returning to the 5 flounder per day. AGAIN, Wardens kept busy writing up greedy anglers for undersized, over limits and no fishing license! WAKE-UP!
By Ed Snyder/Outdoors
Summary: BIG CHANGE THIS WEEK. As of Thursday Nov 1, 2012; The flounder limits change from 5 per day to just two per day. This special TP&W flounder conservation program will change back to 5 flounder per day on December 1, 2012. Reds and croaker were the big items this past week with bull croaker measuring up to 17 inches and bull red fish to
By Ed Snyder/Outdoors
Summary: Shifting weather conditioned the bite last week. Red fish maintained their top spot for surf and turf anglers with catches of slot and bulls. Specks came alive with night and early morning anglers boxing good numbers. Flounder kept anglers guessing with mostly males but a few females showed to 24 inches. The Croaker run is still producing big ones.
By Ed Snyder/Outdoors
Summary: Flounder made a good showing the first part of the week with a 24inch doormat leading the pack but slowed when the weather warmed. Reds, both Bull and slot kept cut and surf anglers busy. Croaker were on and off, but when they were running anglers boxed plenty of big ones to 15inches. This coming week should provide some steady action.
By Ed Snyder/Outdoors
Summary- Excellent action this past week with the Bull reds showing up in force keeping the redfish anglers happy- Golden croaker action gave up some the largest croaker so far with 12 to 15 inch bull croaker boxed by anglers- Flounder were mostly small throwback males but the larger females made a good showing with 14 to 24 inchers being caught on
By Ed Snyder/Outdoors
Summary: Red fish still in the number one spot for angler catches with croaker, whiting, gulf trout, and drum filling in the action. Speckled trout still providing some action but the phenomenal run we’ve had over the summer is null and void. Flounder activity is picking up but mostly undersized males being caught with a ratio of one keeper out of
By Ed Snyder/Outdoors
Summary: Redfish took the limelight this past week with solid runs of reds to 44inches. Golden Croaker ran second with plenty of tasty fish filling those fish fry coolers. Specks slipped to 3rd position with catches of 15 to 18inch trout with a few 25inchers. Flounder began showing along the bulkheads again with anglers catching 14 to 20inchers.
By Ed Snyder/Outdoors
Summary: FINALLY a taste of Autumn blew in with a tantalizing feel of what’s to come- We may bounce back up into summer 90s but the cooling prepared the way for our annual Fall runs of golden croaker, redfish, and flounder. The next three months should provide some pretty awesome fishing so stay tuned for the fishing reports yet to come!
By Ed Snyder/Outdoors
Summary: The once phenom speckled trout run has slipped back into normal this past week but several nice trout are still being caught. Reds have taken over the #1 spot now with lots of good reds to 42 inches coming in from the surf and the cut. Golden croaker are beginning their run now with several 12 to 15 inchers being caught. The excitement for this past week came in the form of Pilot Whales visiting the pass.

Summary: Last weeks action was on and off for anglers seeking trout, reds, or flounder- tides controlled the bite. Sandy green outgoing tides produced trout and reds on the Gulf side and in the surf with incoming tides giving up nice reds and flounder for bay side anglers. Drum, gaff top, and whiting took up the slack on
