Bay guides are catching limits of redfish and black drum. Those fishing on the Island Queen are catching whiting, sand trout and sheepshead.
Limits of king mackerel are being caught along with vermilion snapper, scamp, and a large spinner shark, John McNatt of Fisherman's Wharf said. Anglers fishing the north jetty are catching sheepshead and redfish. Bay guides have been bringing in black drum.
