As they say, “Some day heroes” and “Some day Zeroes”. And so went the Pass! The beginning of the week found trout anglers, both day and night, hooking up with some great trout action. But then the second half of the week found dirty tides filled with tons of weeds with high winds adding to the down-swing. Only smallish low quality fish were being caught for the most part, with no trout, flounder, or reds in the mix. But as of Sunday the winds calmed, the tides cleared, and the weeds began to ease. If the situation keeps improving, this week should be the change around needed for our fishing action to improve. Cross your fingers and toes!
