Rollover Pass Report, Apr-20 thru Apr-26, 2015

By Ed Snyder/Outdoors
Despite severe weekend storm conditions, fishing at the Pass was exceptional for trout, reds, and flounder. Anglers who dodged the storms and stayed put experienced good trout action, fantastic redfish, and great spring flounder runs. This coming week should see the same. (Special Note: Check Miss Nancy’s Bait Camp on Facebook for daily fish photos update)

Speckled Trout
Speck action was off and on during the week, but when it’s on specks from schooly to lunker size were caught. Some anglers are releasing the 25s, with a 28 and 29 released due to eggs. it won’t be long before they’ll finally get in the surf for some really awesome fishing action.
(Limit: 15 inch minimum for 10 trout with only one 25 inch trout per day allowed as part of your daily limit)
