Inshore:Flounder are hitting the sound pretty well now. Move around and fish grass islands and edges of oyster beds. Spanish are all over the beach to 10 miles. Nearshore they are falling for 00 clarkspoons trolled on top and behind #1 planers. Red Drum are on the docks and oyster rocks as well.
Nearshore: The King bite is improving and are still hitting cigar minnows better than live bait right now. Barracuda and AJ's are still on the wrecks will go for live baits and popping lures. 15-40 lb Cobia are mixed in so be ready to pitch skirted live baits and hold on.
Offshore:Mahi are starting at 25 miles out to the break. They are hitting ballyhoo and cigar minnows. The Wahoo are starting in the 80-82 degree water in 100-150' of water. Make sure to keep a spinning rod loaded with a topwater to pick those straggler Mahi when bringing fish to the boat. Gag and Red Groupers are stacked on rocks and ledges starting in 90-120' of water. They will hit cigar minnows and deep jigs.
Get out and Good Luck,
