Rollover Pass Fishing Report, Sept 15 – Sept 21, 2014

By Ed Snyder/Outdoors
The redfish run is still producing rats, slots, and bulls for both day and night anglers. Recent rain runoffs have not hit the pass as of this writing, so can’t predict the outcome. Specks are mainly a night shift activity but surf waders are finding a few up and down the surf as well as in the cut around the bridge. Golden croaker are beginning to show up in numbers and loading coolers for those family fish fries. Flounder is hit and miss with mostly smaller males being caught for an average of one out of five being a keeper. Sad note to finish this report on: A rollover angler decided to go swimming in the cut Friday night at 12:30 am and was quickly swept away by the strong incoming tide. A coordinated search was initiated but the rescue search was called off Saturday morning at 11 am. The body was finally recovered Sunday evening around 6 pm. No further info is available, please say prayers for the familia.
