Jim,
Fished the surf this morning with Mr Tony and Chuck. Mr Tony and I caught 1 king, a couple sharks and a few croaker. Chuck, who says he always gets nothing - got nothing, but did generate some interesting conversation.
Rick
Thanks Rick for the report. I got a chance to go out for an hour tonight all I caught was one skate. You could see the stingrays on top of the water my guess is that they are mating. Thats why they weren't to interested in my bait, but it was good to get a little time off and be out there. I dont have an inshore report but I'll get one up tomorrow. We did get some pirate flags in just in time for Pirates of the Carribean.

My favorite pirate flag with some shark jaws. The 2 books are a popular dive guide series which has helped many people find wrecks and catch fish. We recently got them in a week ago thanks to Capt.Mike Barnes.

Off the surf today there were a few kingfish and croaker picked up in the morning midday the bite slowed a bit. I took a ride out tonight a few people had somespots, kings, and croaker in their cooler. Its a full moon so I'll give you an update tomorrow a couple of anglers are staying on the beach late night.Inshore today the croaker have made a good comeback from the past couple of days. Most people were hitting them pretty hard with fishbites and squid.

Above best flounder I saw today was caught Todd Newman in Chincoteague Channel 5 pounds 15 ounces 24 inches caught on a strip of fishbites bloodworm flavor this stuff is great...they also had 50 croaker and kept 20 of the bigger ones.

SURF- Rick V. reported being out this morning with Darrel and is was slow. He caught 1 kingfish, a couple spot and croaker and of course skates. Nearly caught a few kids as the morning wore on. Capt Brett on Driftaway charters have been doing really well with the kingfish on Friday they had 61 keeper kingfish and threw back over 100. Today Dave Thomas and Wayne Hummer from Lebanon PA had 4 keeper flounder out of 7 ranging from 16 %EF%BF%BD to 20 inches fishing the deep part of Chincoteague Channel on minnows and squid. They also had a few croakers and even a brown trout...oyster cracker. Clint Whitehair 11 years old from Ellsworth Ohio had a decent day out there with 11 keeper croaker a couple sharks and a tiny seabass.

It was another great summer day here on Chincoteague. The surf fishing was a bit slow only a few kings, blues, and skates were all that I have heard about. Inshore has slowed as well due to the netters and the murky water. Despite the conditions listed above the twins and Leo O. had near 40 croakers and a few trout ranging from 12-15 inches. Offshore on %5Burl%3Dhttp://www.chincoteague.com/reeltime/%5DREEL TIME%5B/url%5D they had a cobia and four tuna so offshore is still going well. The crabbing on Assateague is still going well on your way to the beach. We are running a crab special with 4 brablines 1 crab net and bait for %249.99. Mike Ault and Christy Hasting had a beautiful beach wedding we wish them a happy life together.
