If you find yourself visiting the island of Chincoteague and have a hankering for a self caught flounder sandwich get the frying pan oil hot and give Captain John a call (301) 717-8512. All you will need is bread and cocktail sauce, he’ll do the rest!
The seaside and surf steal the show with full limits of flounder in the cooler and big black bellowing beach behemoths making their way through the wash.
The weather has not been very conducive, but the ESVA flounder bite has been resilient as rods bend despite the winterlike temperatures and wind driven turbid waters. Crazy Larry and myself snuck out for a reconnaissance trip and observed a depressing 10 degree drop in water temp. After searching for the cleanest, warmest water we could find ( which was still dirty and cold) we dropped in an array of Sea Hawk Flounder rigs and to our surprise the floundering was fast and furious. The fish came alive on the last part of the ebb and took chartreuse and pink teasers tipped with minnows or silversides in shallow depths of less than 10’.
The black drum continue to be heard on the surf and bayside. Josh Barfield had some nice success in the suds as these big boys of the beach are lured through the break with chunks of sook crab, sand fleas, and clam tipped with a piece of fishbite to sweeten the deal. Our old buddy Capt C.L. Marshall is starting to see some action in the Pocomoke and Tangier sounds as well .
So hook the boat up, get ready so you can time it between the wind gusts , find a leeward bank and enjoy this wonderful place we call home!
