Have they showed up in the bay yet ?

was wondering that yesterday...and was gonna drive down, launch at gandy and check it out, but my buddy wussed out today. I'm thinking Monday I might head down there, if I can find somebody to fish the bridges with. I had heard they were schooling up and on some of the flats in the bay so my guess is yes. Last year at this time on a frosty morning we pulled some fatties outta there.

Heard there was a big school of bull at SSP. One was hooked as well.

Caught 7 last weekend off of docks inside of anna maria on accident fishing for sheepshead and flounder, all of them kept, but didn't keep any of the drum since we caught plenty of sheeps and flounder. Also there are big schools of reds moving around on the flats right in that area.
