By the way, the spring run on sand sea trout "white trout" and southern kingfish "ground mullet" will be taking place by mid March, so be sure to get your kids in on this fish catching action.

Although they average under a pound, well, there is no size or number limits, and they make excellent eating. At times a fish on every cast, and on light spinning gear it's simply a blast!
