Heat, wind, and fire were dampened by lots of rain to finish out the week here at Rollover, but despite a previous slow down on fishing action, the Labor Day weekend saw early runs of redfish that normally wouldn’t occur until mid-September. Along with the early run of spot-tails were croaker, bull whiting, sand and gulf trout, drum, specks, and several other species. All we need now would be the Fall flounder run. And that’s not far off, folks.
