Trout bite has been solid on the shallow flats in 2-3' of water. Popping cork and a shrimp or soft plastics on 1/8oz jigs it's varied day to day on which one they prefer. Mostly slot fish. Starting to get some sheepshead on the nearshore rocks. Wednesday we had to get wrecked by grouper and catch 100 grunts to weed out 6 keeper sized sheep. It wasn't easy.
Hopefully sneaking out a few days this week to fish myself.

I haven't fished in the gulf in over a week. River fishing is lame but there's trout there. Just have to grind it out. Done best in 8+ foot with jigs. Regarding where in the river it depends on water temp. Water warms up a bit =further down river. Early next week they should be fired up on the outside. Sheepshead bite should be solid IF seas lay down. My last trip out there....
