The Hole and Saucer area is made up of a 4 to 5 foot gut near the intracoastal and a shallower, grassy area to the East. Look for potholes in the grass beds. This area is good for trout and redfish year-round. It is also a good place to gig flounder in the fall.

This area is good for wade fishing. Wade fishing can be very rewarding but can also can be dangerous for the inexperienced angler. Watch out for holes, drop-offs, soft bottoms, oyster shells and stingrays.
