Before the cold weather and winds, anglers were bringing in some decent catches of snapper and grouper. A few triggerfish have been caught. Best baits have been cigar minnows, squid, and when available, live bait. Some whiting have been caught from the beaches. Not very many reports of speckled trout and redfish have been received.
Individuals knowing the location of some of the bay reefs can catch some keeper grouper.
The speckled trout and redfish have moved into the canals and rivers. Try live shrimp or chofers for the ax- handle trout. Mangrove snappers are working around structures. Try small, live shrimp. The Guide Boat Capt.
