Trout and drum are biting around structure and drop offs. Fishermen are using white vudu shrimp and white /char gulp shrimp. Flounder are few in shore , but are thick at some of the nearshore reefs and ledges. Gulp shrimp on 2 0z jigs are working well.

Trout are still here. Early morning bite on top water mirrolures. Shrimp and artificials are the ticket once the sun has got up high. Check around docks and structure for flounder and drum. Larger flounder are being caught in deep water and around nearshore structure.

Kings and Spanish are being caught in 45-65 ft, with a few nice size mixed in.
