Rollover Pass Fishing Report, June 30 – July 6, 2014

By Ed Snyder/Outdoors
Hit or miss action all week with mostly the incoming tides producing speck and sandy action for night-shift anglers with surf or cut speck action for the day-shifters. Flounder were steady but not plentiful along bay-side bulkheads and rollover bay. Anglers enjoyed an unusually cool July 4th weekend with North and Northeast winds. The weeds are still a problem but anglers are making do. Sunday may have been Rollover’s turn-around day for much improved fishing action as huge pods of bait appeared, flocks of sea birds on feeding sprees, and a variety of quality fish, such as spanish macks, speckled trout, red fish, crevalles, sand trout, etc, etc, began showing up in catchable numbers.
