Here is a short report from the past 2 days.  The surf fishing has been slow this past weekend.  There were a few snapper blues caught off the beach on cut bait.   On a more positive note there were a lot of flounder caught off the surf Chris, Jr., and Ronnie caugth around 30 today.  A lot just under the limit but still a lot of fun.  Cast and retrieve always keep your bait moving is the best advice for surf flounder.  There was a lot of grass in the water making it hard to go for the big fish.  In the back bay there are still flounder around and a lot of small seabass too.  Thats the report for now.  Good Luck Fishing!

It hass been really windy here lately.  Johan from Md. did the best I heard with a few blues, a throwback flounder, and a little red drum.  Make sure to take out some heavy surf sinkers and or sputniks as the beach has been strong currents and winds lately.  The rockfish have been hitting mostly at night on swimbaits.  Crabbing has been really good Blue's Crew is in town and had over a bushel handlining.  Tomorrow is Oyster Fest so the island is getting busy once again.  We have in fresh bunker brought in tonight.  Thats the report for now.  Tight Lines!

 

We have fresh mullet and fresh bunker!

In the last 2 days there were a few blues, kingfish, flounder, and 1 drum by James Chenault caught off the beach.  Today was really windy so sputniks were the only things that held out there.  It was tough fishing due to the weather.  Crabbing has been really good mostly females but there are plenty of crabs around.  Crabs are usually heavier this time of year getting heavy and ready for the winter season.

James from Md. with his first shark caught and released off the surf. He had some snapper bluees and some kings fishing with uncle Jay.

Mark Stewart from Conn. with his keeper flounder 20.5 inches off the surf he and his wife Janet had a wonderful vacation. They caught plenty of bluefish, Janet had a monster ray on too. Today they had 9 flounder off the beach, casting and retrieving squid. This is their first vacation to Chincoteague Island and not to be their last. They also had the dolphin put on a show for them and were amazed by the wonderful scenery.

The weather has been great around here.  There are still blues and sharks and even spot and kingfish on the surf.  bay there are flounder, seabass (seabass season is closed so it is illegal to keep seabass now).  The good news is that the striped bass are back, we are using swimshads and swimbaits to take these fish.  Falling tide is generally better cast and retrieve slowly and structure helps.  We usually pitch towards the pylons of a bridge and retireve for best success.  We have in fresh mullet brought in today and live minnows.  Thats the report for now.  Good Luck Fishing!
