I was back out on the water this week after my surgery and a little vacation. The bite on the deep grass was steady, with clients catching a decent amount of speckled trout. Most of the fish were average, with the largest going close to 24". Some hard-fighting bluefish were also landed, along with jacks, ladyfish, sea bass, grouper, and snapper. Gulp baits on a jig head caught most of the fish, though #10 Rapala X-Raps produced a few as well. The flats on the west side from Middlegrounds north to Buttonwood were best for me. {%image_id=68111%}
