Weeds are still a problem at Rollover but anglers are learning to deal with it. Surf waders are learning to fish the edges of weed mats to catch their specks and bulkhead anglers within the cut are getting around the problem as well…like the two seasoned flounder pounders who punch holes in the grass to drop their baits in to catch flatties. We don’t know just how long the sargassum weeds will be here on our TX coast but we’re learning to live with it- NOT ENJOYING IT MIND YOU- but just making do for as long as it’s here.
