Small Kings were caught but not in numbers. Spanish were sporadic with only a few caught daily. Tons of Ladyfish, Hardtails were decked along with a few Bluefish. Red Drum were sparce but around in the shallows. Several were caught using live Sand Fleas and small Alewives. Lots of bait were around all week.
