St Pete Beach Fishing – December 2014

Fishing, like the weather, has been hot and cold. On the rumor front, word has it that a “20+ pound” gag grouper was taken from under Merry Pier, along with a smaller 24″ fish. Since the close of grouper season, I have not targeted them, so maybe it’s time to reconsider.

Flounder seem to be winding down. There are still keepers around, but most seem to be around 12″, too small to keep. They run in waves – 4 or 5 will be caught in the space of a few minutes, then nothing for a couple hours (or more).

Redfish continue to bite. My brother Allen has been slaying them. He has caught fish over the slot, under the slot, and at the top of the slot.
