Saltwater: Inshore: Good. Capt. David Newlin reports, “The redfish bite is pretty hot. We caught five big ones sight fishing in the grass this morning. A new-penny-colored Powerbait shrimp was working great. Plenty of slot-limit fish are being caught on live shrimp. They should keep biting through June. The trout bite has improved. It isn’t…
