Redfish: Fair to good.  Coach reports that concurrent with the arrival of bait-sized shrimp fishing has gotten pretty good, and his boat is catching lots of small redfish to go with a decent number of slot-sized and above fish.  The best pattern continues to be working the smaller creeks with cut mullet and mud minnows.

Trout: Slow to fair.  Water clarity issues have not made for great trout fishing, but when you can find high, clear water they will eat shrimp.

Tarpon: Fair.  Tarpon are in the area and they will eat menhaden and mullet.  Fishing a few feet under the surface has been better than bottom fishing.
