Butch Thierry is joined in studio by Capt. Branden Collier of Capt. Collier's Charters, who helps co-host the episode and later breaks down a hot red snapper bite, Calcutta pole snapper fishing, early triple tail signs, flounder on rocks and flooded grass, and quality speckled trout around mullet and grass flats. Capt. Shane Traylor of Bona Fide Inshore checks in with a report from his new 224 Blackjack, explaining how popping corks, live shrimp, Vudu shrimp, wind-blown banks, slicks, and shallow structure have been producing trout, redfish, black drum, and flounder in the Sound and Mobile Bay. Chris Vecsey of J&M Tackle brings the Orange Beach and Gulf Shores report, covering surf trout, redfish, Gulf flounder, ladyfish, bluefish, Spanish mackerel, grass issues, rough-water tactics, weedless plastics, twitch baits, fly fishing, and wake baits over shallow grass. It's a strong episode for anglers trying to make sense of early summer conditions, fish through wind and grass, and pick the right tactic whether they're wading, fishing the surf, working the flats, or running just offshore for snapper.
