Notes

Slow incoming tide. Low at 11 high at 6:30. Haven't seen redfish or snook on the flat in a month. Trout are few and far inbetween, at least at New Pass. Flounder been moving in. Catch at least one every trip, no keepers. 0-0.5 ft tide, seen school of redfish on front flat with sheepshead. 11/14 started seeing start of fall redfish run. Lots of shorts and bulls. Fish are still aggressive. Been a warm winter. Fall run started after 2 strong front with week of temps in high 50s to mid 70s.
