It was wet. Very wet. But two hundred ad ninety people did brave the weather to participate in the Surf Fishing Tournament this past weekend. With winds up to forty miles per hour and driving rain, they still managed to catch some nice fish. Red Drum have made a decent showing in the surf. Plenty of twenty-seven inch Drum and a lot over that length. A few Speckled Trout have showed up in the surf along with Blue Fish and a lot of Spots. Both piers on the Island are catching a lot of Spots. Buckets full of them and yes, they are decent size. The waterway is still producing some nice Flounder and there is still time to catch a few. The water temperature is still pretty high. Whiting are down the river but good luck getting down there. It’s been a little rough. Even though this rough weather makes for some rough fishing, it also pushes the fishing and makes the catching rather good. It is definitely fall and the Spots are biting so you know what that means. Big Drum! Those forty-pound Reds should show up any night now. Let’s go fishing before we start saying it’s to cold! Keep fishin and releasin… Steve and Karen Labanec Seagull Bait and Tackle
