Jimfrom Freeville, NY had three nice keepers @ 19 1/8" and Capt Charlie managed one @ 20.5" today on the Island Queen. My good friend Mark from Timonium was along and had to hold one just to help out Jim. Charlie’s wife was along also! We only boated 11 fish today so the keeper ratio was much better. Three of the fish came in the last 45 minutes of the trip as the low tide slowed down.
WhileFishing on Scott Marshall’s boat the Saltara in the Chincoteague Bay on 04/18/2008, Tom Jerkiewicz caught the first Flounder of the season. The Flounder was 24".
Dicky Cooper from Milford, DE had 2 short rockfish fishing the surf this afternoon caught on bunker. There were also a few sharks and skates caught. The gnats have arrived so the DRUM should be around. When the dogwoods bloom and the gnats arrive the drum are near according to famous JT Bolding. Rob Tharp from Milfor, De caught 32 flounder yesterday with 5 keepers. A lot of the fish were 18 inches one more month and they will be keepers. Capt. Lee Irwin learned this from the Virginia Game Fish Tagging Program Seminar. Looks like the bite is HOT so get out there. The water temperatures went from 52 in the morning to 62 in the afternoon.
