Fishing Report & Tide Chart For Rollover Pass TX May 21 to May 28, 2012

By Ed Snyder/Outdoors
Summary: This past week of gusting winds limited the trout and flounder bites but as the winds diminished the tides cleared and the speck and flounder bites returned with mostly school trout to 3 lbs but the flounder action gave up a nice 22 incher. EXCELLENT crabbing on the cut with lots of Blue Claws filling those crab coolers.
