Summary: This past week of gusting winds limited the trout and flounder bites but as the winds diminished the tides cleared and the speck and flounder bites returned with mostly school trout to 3 lbs but the flounder action gave up a nice 22 incher. EXCELLENT crabbing on the cut with lots of Blue Claws filling those crab coolers.

Speckled Trout– Specks are good within the cut as well as rollover bay and the Gulf surf. Lots of specks hitting live bait and artificial on outgoing tides. (Size and limits- 15inches to 25inches for 10 specks with one 25incher per day when added as part of the daily limit.)
Redfish– Good reds in cut, rollover bay, and surf with one 35incher from the surf. (20inches to 28inches for 3 reds, with one over 28inches when tagged in addition to the 3 fish daily slot limit.)
Flounder– Good flounder action on Gulf side and bayside bulkheads with rollover bay producing good flatfish as well. (Limits- 14inches minimum for 5 flounder per day.)
Black Drum- Lots of puppy drum being caught but good keeper eaters to 24inches coming in with one Bull at 48inches landed and released. REMEMBER, ALL drum under 14inches and over 30inches MUST be released! NO TAGGING ( Limits- 5 per day at 15- 30 inches.)
