Summary: This past week started out good with drum, reds, and sheeps head keeping anglers busy with a few nice flounder adding to the creel. But back to back fronts chilled the surf and muzzled the bite for the most part. If and when the surf temp warms back up into the 60s the bite should improve greatly. As of Sunday 24th, the bite was improving.
