It was a great holiday weekend here on the island.  Pete and Rich held down the fort on a busy weekend.  The wrecks are still producing seabass and tog.  There are still a few striped bass also coming in.  We have been getting in fresh bunker consistently.  Along with a large variety of swimshads and trolling lures too.   I got a chance to head to Lititz PA and had a good Thanksgiving weekend with our family up there.  The weather has been beautiful and a lot warmer than years past.  With the warmer weather the big schools of fish are still not here yet, although we can not complain with how nice it is.  Stop on in and see our new hats we have camoflauge and pink Captain Steve's hats.  I'll post some pictures they make great presents for the upcoming holidays along with gift certificates too.  We are still open everyday, stop on by and go fish!

We have fresh bunker brought in tonight, we have been getting the fresh bunker in regularly for our patrons.  We also will be open Thanksgiving day 7am - 12pm.  We hope everyone has a great THANKSGIVING with friends and family.  The past couple of days there haven't been as many people fishing but we have seen an increase of fish.  Pictured below is Cory's 39'' and Paul's 28.5'' cauhgt off the Assateague Surf.  The dogfish and skates have also been keeping anglers busy along with some short stripers too.  I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving Day especially the Chincoteague Oysters.  Once again we wish everyone a great Thanksgiving, we are very Thankful to have a great family and for all our customers and friends we have met through the years.

We would like to thank everyone for another successful tournament.  Getting to see the old gang and hanging out with some of the new gang was a great time.  The fishing was not the greatest but the weather(maybe too nice clear and sunny) and comradery was always first class.  We had in great fresh bunker everyday along with live eels and seaclams. The Cheaf Don from NJ provided plenty of laughs along with some good subs.  Teddy Bassetti brought his homemade lasagna with hot and sweet sausage and sauce too.  Todd McDaniel brought in some custom lures and his contribution to his dinner a very large appetite which was soon filled with some moose steaks and lasagna.  Jerzey Rich contributed some of Candi's beef stew.  Plenty of libations were also enjoyed with cigars at Tom's Lounge.  Comedy added by the King Brothers !  Fresh shucked Chincoteague Oysters were provided by Eric the Pirate.  Sea Striker Dave will never be the same after his first tournament adventure,  thanks for coming and the samples and stickers too. All in all it was a great time and thanks to Tsunami and Airwave for sponsering our tournament.  Overall we had some great laughs and plenty of everlasting memories which makes out fishing community so special.
