Whether the weather is good or bad, we sure are lucky to call this wonderful place home !

Today a bunch of kids along with a bunch of kid like adults participated in the “Fishing with Harbor Master Vern “ kids day atChincoteague’s Curtis Merritt Harbor. The only thing that was more prevalent than the flounder were the smiling faces! This is why we are so lucky to call this wounderful place home!!

Now that the wind has finally subsided and the temperature has dropped like the tide…..it’s time for some autumn angling. We’ve had nothing to report this past 10 days as the nor’easters have kept the seas rough and our boats tied to the dock, but thankfully the weather is always certain to change and the fish are certain to bite ( we hope)!

Before the storm we had some fairly good ( but inconsistent )shallow water casting for rock and specs. But, the perch fishing in the creeks near the mouths of the lower rivers stole the bayside show. On seaside, flounder had been jigged up under docks and other structures using gulp on jig heads around Chincoteague . While, to the north, some rock and blues have come to vacation in Ocean City. Offshore we left some flounder, seabass and a few togs on the wrecks before the tremendous seas chased us back into the inlet.

Who knows what we will find as the conditions allow us to continue our search for eastern shore excellence. However, now that the weather is improving, we can hope that it’ll just get better!

Here’s some pictures of what was biting before the blow. All I know is I can’t wait to get back doing the things we love in this wounderful place that we call home!
