Chincoteague has seen a busy holiday weekend with the Oyster Festival and the Summerlike weather. In the surf the blues are still around in numbers hold your rod for increase catch rate. We have also seen a few short stripers being caught off the surf as the water temperatures continue to get cooler the striper fishery will be getting better. There has been a few keeper flounder caught off the surf, in the Fall is when we catch the most flounder surf fishing as they are heading out to deeper water. Backbay fishing flounder are beaing caught along with bluefish and some striped bass which have been hitting mostly nights. Come on in for the largest selection of soft plastics swimshads and plenty of hard body models too. We have in fresh mullet and bunker!
