Surf action is still going well as the blues hit good again. Make sure to take out plenty of bait as they are hitting fast and hard. Mr Tony and Rick V. fished a couple hours this afternoon. Tony caught 5 blues and Rick had 4 blues. They were all about 18-24 in. One angler picked up a few blues walking the shoreline and throwin lures.

Brad S. with a 21 inch 3 pound flounder
The surf fishing has picked up a bit in the past 2 days. Leo O. caught a 24 inch rockfish yesterday. There were also plenty of blues out there biting on cut bait. Lucky Chucky lost a big one%2810-12 pounds%29 as it bit thru his leader in the wash. Bill Mabbitt from Stanton Va caught 8 blues yesterday one over 30 inches and had 2 this evening in the rain. He has been using the mullet rigs with finger mullet exclusively. I got a chance to fish last night with Brad S. from Baltimore we ended up with 2 blues each and a bunch of skate. A lot of the blues are getting off right in the wash. Not to many people flounder fishing as everyone was at the Seafood Festival. Brad S. did manage a 21 inch 3 pound flounder yesterday pictures below. Stephen will be here Saturday for a demonstration to custom hand tie rigs & lures 6:30-8:30.

Offshore fishing a boat out of Ocean City went out past the Washington Canyon and caught the first bluefin of the year. They also had some smaller dolphin hooked up but did not get any of them in. Right now we are waiting for the warmer water to get here. Within the next month with the right conditions and wind the fish will be here.
