Summer is definitely here and along with it are the summer fishing patterns. The most action is occurring at night under the lights of the night-shift anglers. Daytime activity is mainly limited to the morning bite but changing tides throughout the day provides enough action to keep it interesting.
Speckled Trout
Speck action is mainly in the early morning surf and around the bridge; nighttime is the right time though for night-shift anglers under the lights.
(Limit: 15 inch minimum for 10 trout with only one 25 inch trout per day allowed as part of your daily limit)
Redfish (Red Drum)
Very few being caught, but the surf is providing the bulk of the action for bulls and slots.
(Limit: 20 inch minimum to 28 inch maximum for 3 reds per day – one over 28 inch red -plus bonus red- allowed when properly tagged in addition to your 3 fish limit)

A few being caught from puppy size to bulls.
