Its been busy here on the island as most the schools are now out. Families are coming down and enjoying the island life. Crabbing has been going well and is a good activity for people of any age. It is easy to do and inexpensive so if you are looking for a way to spend a few hours and catch dinner we can help you out. The wrecks have been pretty productive here lately producing a nice variety of fish, with the water warmer we are seeing the spadefish and triggers starting to show up in more numbers. Inshore anglers are still targeting flounder and kingfish near the inlet; flounder are still biting in spurts persistance is key. Fishbites bloods and shrimp have been the best baits. Off the surf the kingfish action has been best the past 2 nights from around 4-7pm. We have the newest in Gulp which arrived yesterday the Gulp mudminnow/croaker you have to see these baits they look good. We have been staying busy here at the shop. I would like to congratulate my wife Jessica who has jusy finished with her teaching degree and was just hired as a 3rd grade teacher for the Accomack County Schools, I am very proud of you and all your hard work has paid off. Did you watch the USA soccer match? It was awesome we have been and will be streaming all the games at the shop, GO USA! Thats the report for the moment remember feel free to stop on e-mail or call we are here for you. Tight lines!
Drew Cooper and Darlis aboard the Pequod came in with an assortment of fish. They had a citation spadefish 9.2 pounds and 6 other spades and 10 triggerfish and a kingfish too fishing the wrecks. Drew said they caught them all in the corner of their mouth, and the wrecks were the ones under the water. Drew says the weather was poor and snow was coming down sideways, as you can tell by his suntan!
Drew Cooper caught a few blackbellied rosefish one is pictured above deepdropping ath the Norfolk Canyon they also had mahi mahi's and raised a blue marlin.

He's on the right with the biggest flounder of the trip. Danny, the s-i-law of Bill Millani from Balt. is the rookie of the group and he had the other keeper. It's always a fun time with this group aboard the Chincoteague View with Capt. Mike.
John & Jennifer Risser left on Saturday, June 19th at 5:30 AM from Brownstown, PA and rode bike to Chincoteague Island. They rode until 7:00 PM on Saturday evening. Left again on Sunday morning at 5:45 AM and arrived on the island at 3:34 PM. Enjoyed the slower pace and much more scenery on the way down than by car. Enjoyed the time together! It was a nice Father's day treat for both dad and daughter. They recommend using google maps for bike routes. Congrats on the ride they have been training for a while and the trip is going to be very momroable!
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
It has been a beautiful weekend here on Chincoteague. The offshore boats have been catching some makos and duskies and some yellowfin tuna too, the big bluefish have been really aggressive out there too. In the bay the flounder are still doing pretty good. On the surf the best time has been earlier in the morning and then again in the late afternoon. There have been some schools of snapper blues cruising up and down the beach and pelicans swooping down and getting free meals. The water has been really clear on the surf here lately. The wrecks have been holding some nice fish make sure to take plenty of tackle and bait as the action can get pretty consistent with steady action from seabass, tog, blues, and triggers. Thats the report for now enjoy the pictures!
