FISHING REPORTS

July/Early August

This summer has been hot with redfish in the flats, docks, points, pretty much everywhere, live bait and cut bait has been the ticket, have been catching them on jerks shads and topwaters early. Flyfishing is heating up with the approaching flood tides. Late evenings and early mornings will be the best. Been seeing lots of aggressive flounder this summer, sometimes coming completely out of the water chasing mullet. Looking forward to the mullet run.

Took out Sam and Lizzie this am to chase some redfish, found them real happy this morning, tailing and busting shrimp. Ended up catching 7, lost a few, Used crab and menhaden, could have done well with the fly. Beautiful calm this morning, great to beat the weekend crowds.
