Steady flounder action most of the week with the larger females beginning to run through the pass. Redfish have been good all week with plenty of slots and Bulls keeping the anglers happy. Sheepshead are beginning to show up in numbers and the Black Drum are plentiful with both legal keeper eaters and Bulls. This next week should provide some exceptional fishing action that may stall when the expected cold front arrives, but should heat back up when the weather stabilizes. Remember: November flounder limit is 2 per day with 2 possession limit.
