I launched from the Pilottown Rd ramps this morning at 5am. Drifted to up the broadkill river getting a few hits but not hooking up. On my last drift I got a 15in throwback. Headed past the inlet and started drifting in the canal and caught a handful more shorts on a white bucktail and salmon red swimming mullet with a chartreuse swimming mullet teaser. Then I found a few 10in weakfish. A nice surprise, hopefully this is a good sign they are coming back. Saw a report from the pier someone kept a 5lb weakfish. Hopefully more people realize they need to release these fish if we want them back.
The salmon red seemed to be attracting a lot of throwbacks so I decided to switch to a chartreuse gulp on the bucktail. First drift nailed a 25in keeper flounder. Unfortunately I had a mishap placing it in the cooler behind me and it swam away to see another day. A few drifts later in the same spot I picked up a nice 20 inch flounder. This one was successfully placed in the cooler lol. I’m definitely rethinking the whole throwing it in the cooler behind me. I’m going to get a soft cooler to put on the bow.
It was more shorts after that and I was off the water by 10. For a Saturday morning there were very few people out. Definitely a successful morning.
