After we get through this extended winterization, the fishing at the pass should be GREAT!! The specks are showing up in numbers now with schoolies and mega specks from 2 to 8 plus lbs coming in. The black drum are running with anglers catching plenty of keeper eaters along with some MONSTERS going to 40 plus lbs. The spring flounder run is in full swing with flatfish from 14 to 20 inches showing up in angler boxes. Redfish are doing well with anglers landing both slot and Bull reds to 44 lbs. Even the crabs are getting Krabbie with plenty of blue claws and stones around for crab boils. SPRING IS SPRUNGING FOLKS.
