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

Pittsburgh Rick %231 Steelers Fan did it again for the second day in a row.

Rick V. is on a 6 day hitting streak catching either a rockfish or drum every day...keep up the good work

Mr. Henry Kaufman had a good day in the bay with 4 keepers, he also brought in the biggest flounder of his life a 22 inch 4 3/4 lber.

The trolling bars are available in 16,20,24,28.32, and 48 ounces. We also brought in some new flounder hooks with 4/0 wide gap hooks which a few anglers were requesting.

I got a chance to hit the surf early this morning before work. I fished with the OtDG and both Ricks caught black drum. We had a couple kingfish, Bob D.from Parksley caught a dozen kingfish. There were also some snapper blues in parking lot 4 that were hitting on mullet rigs. The flounder fishing picked up for most people today as many had 4-5 keepers brought in at the end of the day. Today we got in some new goodies for offshore and flounder fishermen. Great Calcutta Sign background Pirate in the Blood. Fishing in the Soul. See you later... Jimmy

Billy H. and Joe L. had four nice keepers from 19.5 to 23.5. They also threw back about 30. Others also experienced success although a lot of the flounder were just undersized. It was a fantastic day off the beach once again with plenty of drum brought in. Tonight I got a chance to fish with Rick V. landed another black drum tonight which he released. Doug and I did not hook up any drum, but we did end up with 5 kingfish caught on bloodworms. Even though we were using bigger hooks 7/0. It nice to see that the kingfish are back I had one that weighed 1.6 lbs. We broiled them with old bay, salt, pepper, and olive oil. They tasted great. See you tomorrow Jimmy
