Big bass are being caught on plugs, swim shads and bloodworms in the bays and rivers, and charter boats prepare for the blackfish season opener on Saturday.
A few anglers are picking away at bass in the surf and tautog on the wrecks, but freshwater fishing is the hottest action available right now.
