[dropcap]H[/dropcap]ello folks, is this summer flying by or what? August already! Hopefully this month won’t be as wet or windy as last month. The bite has continued to be the same with the rigs down south, the wrecks in Mississippi sound are still holding good numbers of specks and white trout. Th ere has been some trout starting to show up consistently along the Eastern shore reefs toward the end of July. The Mobile river bite has slowed down with the flood of fresh water from all the rain up north. The reds have been somewhat steady along the old piers along the Eastern Shore. The tripletail really showed up good this month. The biggest concentrations have been along the channel markers in Mississippi sound and floating debris in the bay. The trout bite has been the same pattern, slip cork fishing around the rigs and the wrecks. Live shrimp have been pretty consistent. Th e bigger fish have been eating live croakers as well. Now is the time to make those last few fishing memories before getting the kids ready for school. Hope to see ya on the water!
