Fishing the surfhas been better the past couple of evenings with kingfish and spot being the main catches.  Bruce Waver and gand did reall y well catching around 40 fish off the surf today.  The anglers using smaller hooks( EC surfballs ) with bloodworms, Fishbites Bw and squid have been doign well.)  Use cut bait for best results with shark, skates, and rays with wire leader.  In the bay there are still plenty of little croakers around,  anglers have been putting the snaller ones back and keeping the larger size croakers.  In the inlet there have been a few kingfish being caught off the boat as well.  Flounder are still also  being caught in the deeper channel.  Offshore today Capt. Glenn went on a funttip today and had a 50 pound bluefin tuna.  Other were also catching dolphin(mahi-mahi) on the troll.  We weighed in thr first citation wahoo of the year too.  Its been really hot out there so make sure to take plenty of water and liquids out with you.  Bugspray is also a  must for this time of year.  We have gotten in our new shipment of Guy Harvey shirts come by the shop and check them out with our custom logo on the sleeve.  Thats the report for now.  Tight Lines !

Fishing continues to be good in Chincoteague.  The Wilson Gang from WV had 4 keepers and caught around 40 flounder today and craokers and 2 rays too.  Capt. Jim from the "Drager Group"  took the girls out fishing today.  They had countless number of croaker all the croaker they could land mixed in with some flounder, shark, and even an oyster toad.  The croaker seem to be in pods when you find one, most likey there will be others with it.  The flounder are found right on the banks when you can find the dropoffs. In the surf action cntinues to be with spot and kingfish.  The action is on and off on the beach this afternoon anglers did well with kingfish and caught spot right past the first breaker.  Thats it for now.  Tight Lines.

Another successful trip with Capt. Glenn aboard the Shammy.

The croaker fishing continues to heating up with charter boats raving about the action out of their boats the last few days. Off the surf there continues to be a good run of the summer species that we love to throw on the skillet, including kingfish, spot, and croaker. The mosquitoes have also shown up the last couple days so make sure to bring your insect repellent if you are going to be in the brush at all.  Today Team Dan and Ann with Chase Brown caught about 150 croaker drifting the inlet.  Ann was the Queen of the double headers outfishing the guys.  More than half the time once the weight hit the bottom you would have a fish on.  They were everywhere although these are of the smaller variety it has been a good bite going on.  On the wrecks the flounder have been biting pretty good although the keeper ratio is still tough.  Thats the report for now If you have any fihing pictures feel free to send them to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
