Linda Verlinghieri with 4# flounder she had Saturday afternoon on a charter with Capt. Mike Chincoteague View. She outfished her husband, "Philadelphia" Mike and he taught her how. We had 3 flounder that afternoon between 18-1/4 and 18-7/16". The fish we're catching are eating well on crabs, baitfish, and lots of grass shrimp so the should be big enough to come home for dinner soon.

We caught 20 flounder that morning but only this one made the cut off. we're seeing more small fish less than 15\" than a month ago, which is typical as the water warms up.

Its been a slower pace the past two days with the winds picked up a bit and less people here, most people have to work and most schools are not out for Summer yet. We are starting to see some families come down who are njoying the beach hanging out fishing and crabbing. Mr. Ron Wolf caught about a dozen kingfish yesterday morning as others experienced success with dogfish a few blues and of course dogfish and skates. If you would like to take a charter we only book the best Captains out of our shop. They can take you on fishing expeditions, clamming excursions, and sightseeing tours too. Just stop on in or e-mail to book you a trip. If you would like to do it yourself in the Assateague Surf is a fun place to fish which a license is not required. Surf Fishing is very enjoyable being on the beach interacting with the ocean is priceless. There has been a herd of ponies traveling the rod to the beach the past couple of days I've taken a ride to the beach. Switching gears to flounder fishing do not be afraid to try something new bucktailing has picked up in popularity once again due to its effectiveness. We carry a large assortment of different bucktails for all different fishing conditions they can be tipped with squid, cut bait, and Gulp. Keep your rod moving for best results getting a reactionary strike from the fish. Another go to rig for bigger fish has been the adjustable bait rig which features an adjustable hook which helps with hook placement on bigger baits like Smelt, and fresh sut fish strips, squid, and tandem minnows too. Too many time as anglers we fall into a comfort zone just trying the same old, switching fishing tactics might make the difference in a successful fishing trip. Thats the fishing report for now. Good Luck Fishing!
We have fresh bunker, live peelers, live minnows and the largest selection of Gulp and frozen baits around.

The kingfish have been making a strong showing at the beach so don't be afraid to have one set up devoted to catching these delicious fish while still targeting the Black Drum swimming it wouldn't be a bad idea.

Tom stopped in a few times over the past weekend to get tackle and bait and some advice on fishing the Assateague surf. Thanks to our help, he landed this striper on Sat (May 29) afternoon. He didn't get a measurement or weight, and released the fish back into the surf. My best estimate is around 30". He fishes quite a bit, but rarely get to fish in the surf. This was my first catch out of the surf! Thanks for the report Tom. This will be a forever memory and great release many more to come your way!
