  • Oc 6/27-28

    Launched Saturday at around noon and fished till 1730ish. Suraface water temp 72 with close to 3ft of visibilty. Started off fishing the Inlet with green crab and sand fleas with only a couple small nibbles and a CNR. Moved up to the 50 bridge about the time the incoming started moving and started jigging for flounder with a bucktail/gulp combo. Landed 7 flounder with a few misses, 4 keepers, biggest at 20.5 inches. Best results came tossing the bait up on the sand bars and dragging / jigging it back into deeper water. No more than 2 boats in sight the entire afternoon.

    Launched Sunday at 0530 on a high slack tide, visibility was down to about a 18 inches. Headed to the inlet again with only a 24 inch rock and a croaker to show for an hour and a half of my time. Headed back to the bridge and started jigging again, the flounder were still biting but most were shorts. Landed about a dozen around the bridge before deciding to do a little exploring. Headed up in the channel behind AI into a circus of jetski's, boaters and yaks. Made a long drift on the shore side of the channel picking up 3 shorts and having a better flounder come unbuttoned. Fish seemed to be holding a little deeper than the day before and the best bite for me was on the begining of the outgoing. Called it a day around 1230.

    Nice report, thanks. Every year we camp at Frontier Town (except this year) and drifting for flounder in the channels behind Assateague is my most favorite form of yak fishing!

          Thanks for the report. I'm going fishing down there in my friends boat this coming weekend. I'll be taking my kayak down there at the end of August.

            Good job again man! It's good to see you turned what looked like a washout with the wind into some dinner! I'm wishing I had joined you now but I was already into some house work when you texted me, and the wife had other plans for Sunday. Next time though.

              Good report Chimo - way to get on the fish and still impressed you can fish around the 50 bridge when the tide is moving.. that's a lot of work..

                Thanks for the kind words. I don't like to act like a hobie snob but the mirage drive is what makes it happen.
