Warm temperatures and calm seas allowed area fishermen to catch a variety of fish over the past week. Speckled trout have been biting very well in the waterway, in the surf and off the piers. Some nice black drum and whiting have been caught from the surf and off the piers. Bottom fishermen reported catches of grouper, snapper, triggerfish and black bass. Gulf Stream boats reported another great wahoo bite, along with blackfin tuna and sailfish.
