The first part of the week anglers were hampered by matted sea weeds that almost filled the pass; then anglers found ways to fish the grass mats which slowly gave up some quality specks and flounder. Most of the trout action was out front in the gulf with surf anglers and pole sitters catching near limits of quality trout. Bay side bulkheads also began giving up flounder to the flounder pounders. Bay waders fishing the flats were catching flounder on early tides with night giggers sticking flounder on the flats. We don’t know how much longer we have to endure the unendurable, but anglers are finding ways.
