Michael Goodenough with a nice rockfish around 24 pounds he landed off the surf this afternoon.
Dave Snyder with a 39 inch 20 pound rockfish, he also had a lot of sharks and even some kingfish.
It's nice to see the island alive again as today started the Summer season. The surf fishing went pretty well with Mike Goodenough and Dave Snyder from Chincoteague both pulled in nice rockfish. There were a few black drum hooked but none sucessfully landed they got off near shore. The kingfish were around in numbers and even a few blues on mullet. In the back bay there was some good success both at Queen Sound and in the Assateague Channel. A few people limited out who came by the shop. The only bad thing was that you had to weed through some skates and sharks to get to the flounder. The Hersh family from Thomasville, PA had a great day with 7 keepers 18.5-22.25 inches. Tonight we got in some breakaway Cannons, they are called the bionic finger used with spinning reels to help you cast out further. It has been really busy so I better wrap it up. see you tomorrow...Jimmy
