By Ed Snyder/Outdoors.
Summary: As before, last weeks fishing activity bordered around the weather with prefront and postfront tides allowing anglers to catch quality fish such as specks to 8plus lbs- reds to 39inches- flounder to 21inches- and drum to 37inches. But the catch of the week was caught during a BLOW-OUT cold front for a rollover rare Triple Tail being caught. These back to back cold fronts is keeping our fishing activity on a rollercoaster.

Speckled Trout :
Depending on the clarity of the tides anglers are still reeling in those mega-specks to 8plus lbs, Rule of thumb is 1 hour before tide change to 1 hour after tide change.  (Limits- 15inch minimum for 10 trout per-day with only one 25 inch trout per day allowed as part of your daily limit).

Redfish-(Red Drum):
Good redfish from 24 to 39 inches being caught, (Limits, 20 inches minimum to 28 inch maximum for 3 reds per-day, one over 28 inch red allowed when tagged and as a part of your 3 fish limit).

Black Drum:
Drum run is still producing good catches with mostly keeper eaters coming in with fewer mega-drum hitting the deck, (14 inch minimum to 30 inch maximum for 5 fish per-day with one OVER 52 inches allowed when a part of your daily limit).

Flounder:
Good flounder coming from the bay side bulkheads for flounder from 14 to 21 inches being boxed, Mud minnows and bulkheads is the key, (14 inch minimum for 5 fish per-day).

Sheepshead:
Good sheepshead mainly on the gulf side while fishing live shrimp, (Limit, 15 inch minimum with 5 per day Creel).

Gafftop Catfish:
A few gaffs coming in but no big ones as yet, (14 inch minimum for no limit creel).

Whiting/Croaker:
SLOW on croaker but very good on whiting in the surf, (No Limit).

Sandtrout/Gulftrout:
NO REPORT, (No Limits).

Blue Claw Crab:
Steady crab but slow in numbers, (5 inches between points with no female berry crabs allowed).

Stone Crabs:
A few stones coming in from the rocky areas, (limit,  only right claw may be kept when 2 1/2 inches above first Knuckle).

Stingaree bait camp report:
Excellent speck and red action around East Bay flats, reefs, and grass, many limits being had on both bait and plastic anglers when weather and tides allow.
