Snook are on the beaches still and near the passes. Dock lights have been holding alot of Snook at night. They'll take live bait,flies in white and plastic shrimp.

Redfish are near the mangroves on high water and also in the dock lights at night. Eating pretty much the same thing as Snook. Starting to see the Reds school up for the fall spawn, where they will be in schools of 100 or more on the flats.

Tarpon are in the upper parts of the bay and around the big bridges at night. Live Pinfish and Theadfins are the ticket.

Mangrove Snapper are easy targets with shrimp or sardines with a small circle hook. Near rock piles and near bridges in the bay.
