Today we got suprised by the weather the wind was blowing but still a lot of people went out. The flounder were hitting good at Four Mouths reported Capt. John Smith of Wallops they caught 4 keepers and 14 fish total in a few hours of fishing. Most of the flounder were 15 and a half inches and he said all the boats had ample action there. The rig of choice was a chartruce bucktail and the chartruce mylar E.C. Flounder rig with live minnows. Surfside Mike Goodenough landed 2 stripers and kept one. He is pictured below with a 27 inch 17 and a half pound striper who bit on peeler crab this evening. He also got broken off so there are some big fish are out there. What a difference one day makes.
