Good abundance of speckled trout along with scattered sheepshead and drum

Bay: Lot of fish being caught in the bay. Abundance of speckled trout and scattered drum and sheepshead being caught.

Fresh:  Hopefully the rain has helped the river levels a bit as folks were getting grounded with the water levels so low. Crappie and some catfish being caught.

Danny Copeland wants to remind folks that the resident shoreline license is free. Come on by!
