Trip Summary

We are catching every species of fish almost every day. Mostly trout, redfish, tripletail, sheepshead and black drum. We will see occasional flounder from time to time. We are throwing soft plastics to live shrimp and live mullet. Tripletail is a patience and persistence but been finding them almost everyday.
