OK, first the bad news. No sign of greenbacks yet (although the glass minnows are thick). No cobia. No big grouper. Snook season is over. Flounder are small, few and far between. Merry Pier is swarming with filefish, puffers, pinfish, sailor’s choice, and cowfish.

The good news – nice mangrove snapper are showing up, and black drum are cooperating. Sunday, my brother and I landed 4 black drum in the 7-10 pound range, with two bigger ones getting away. Throw in some 10″ to 14″ snapper, and you have the makings of a great fish dinner… or three…
