This past week saw the ups and downs due to weather, but in between the chill and wet-downs the pass proved why it’s rated as the #1 fishing spot in Texas. Plenty of flounder, reds, drum, speckled trout and other species made the tally board. This coming week should see a major flounder run with the larger females showing up; croaker also making their final push with more and more 15 to 17 inchers being caught. We’ve had several gator specks caught from 25 inches to an amazing 31 inch/10LB specimen.
