Rollover Pass Fishing Report, Aug 18 – Aug 24, 2014

By Ed Snyder/Outdoors
This past week’s fishing action started out slow but improved with each tidal flush. The key to positive fishing action is EARLY and LATE. Night shift action is fair to good according where you set your lights. Day time action occurring from 6 am through noon for the Gulf side or Bay side bridge anglers and bay waders. Surf is giving up some bull reds to 42 inches and gator trout to 27 inches. With the holiday weekend coming up, we should see some great action.
