Bay anglers have been baiting their hooks with mostly live mullet and live and frozen shrimp, and dropping their lines for catches of redfish, drum, sheepshead, speckled and sand trout and flounder. Areas producing fish include the Aransas Channel, South Bay and Sailboat Channel.
Offshore, lots of kingfish, yellowfin and blackfin tuna, vermilion snapper, dorado and a large blacktip shark were reeled in.
