Well, the wind is still with us but it has calmed down a little bit. The Warriors Weekend ended yesterday and it was a great success. The weather was pretty good with Southeast winds around 10 to 15 knots and clear skies. What a great cause and what a great job the many volunteers did. The community center was decorated with a great sand sculpture and a field of flags honoring the sacrifice of many great soldiers.

Trout fishing has been best over deeper shell. Espiritu Santo has been a bit off-color but it is beginning to clear with the return of onshore winds. San Antonio bay has been in better shape and the shell down there has been productive. I’ve caught a few trout in Pringle and Contee over the last week but it has been spotty.

The lakes are holding reds for drift fishermen and the grass shorelines are holding both reds and trout for waders. Live shrimp has been a popular choice for drift fishing and the waders are scoring on topwaters and soft plastics.

The jetties were producing a lot of fish last week but the last few days have seen some pretty rough conditions and the action has slowed quite a bit. I think that in a few weeks we’ll begin to see some better conditions at the rocks. We have been catching reds and drum. A few really big trout have been in the mix and some big sharks have been in there too. The big Jacks are showing up so you know Summer is just about here.
