Good Morning, Inshore yesterday there where a few snook around to the north around Harbor Branch in the bait schools with a few reds mixed in. There has been more bait around the last few days so it should just keep getting better and better. The trout bite has been ok on soft baits around Bear point with a few reds and snook mixed in. The bridges have had a few snook and tarpon around on the outgoing tide. The wind looks like it will calm down for the weekend so hopefully we can get offshore. Todays weather info-
