Bolivar Fishing Report
- May 7, 2025
- GOOD. 70 degrees. The tides and water levels are dramatic four tide days that should produce some high fishing activity with the weather changes expected. Big 25 inch plus trout in the surf are still running! Chances of using your trout tag are high. Water levels are back and forth per normal with a lot of sargassum washing in. Anglers are still catching plenty of redfish everywhere, almost guaranteed. There are more keeper speckled trout being caught along with sand trout, black drum, sheepshead and crabs caught along the jetty. The flounder are showing back up for the Spring. The bigger stingrays and sharks are here and the real action is beginning! The surf is producing lots of redfish and huge black drum, huge speckled trout and a lot of sharks along the peninsula with more activity towards Gilchrist and High Island. Anglers are using cut mullet, big menhaden or shad. Report by Captain Shane Rilat, North Jetty Bait Camp.
