Well they say April showers bring may flounders… I mean flowers. The fact is the flowers and the flounder are popping up and making the Eastern shore an awesome place to spend time and tide with friends and family doing what we love most!
The seaside has continued to be a great place to flounder around. Hungry flat fish have devoured Sea Hawk flounder rigs tipped with silversides and minnows with a side of swimming mullet Gulp to sweeten the deal. We had the best results on baits displayed on pink teasers in water depths of less than than 10 feet. In fact, we had a few fish attack baits on the flats with as little as 2 feet of water. It’s truly exciting to watch these awesome ambush predators spring into action and ingulf your bait right before your eyes. Remember, more important than any rig or bait, the necessity for clean water is probably the single most important factor to ensure flakey white fillets on the dinner table.
The coastal bays have also provided some speckled sport. Along with rock, specks have graced us with their presence as anglers test their skills casting soft plastics and suspending baits around creek mouths and other bait laden structure. This fishery is just beginning and should gain strength as the month of May makes our way to a warmer Eastern Shore.
The serine sands of the barrier islands are supporting successful excursions in pursuit of both striped and spotted subjects. Surf anglers have stretched their line on reds and blacks as well as rock ( which must be released in VA). These trophies have been tempted to take a ride through the suds with modified fish finder as well as hi-lo rigs tipped with a variety of baits including crab clam and sand fleas.
This past week we received the first of a “ hard” sign spring here to stay…Softcrabs! And if the crabs are shed’n it definitely time to get fish’n ! The grassy shallows of the sounds have been the scene of some speck and spot tail action as anglers set and wait to lure unsuspecting subjects over the gunwale with chunks of crab on bottom rigs. There has been a “spec “ of activity for these throwing lures as topwater plugs walk the dog right into the mouths of waiting prizes. We also got to try the new Gulp violet haze baits with great success that led to a bent rod or two. Remember, to save the pursuits of stripes till the last half of May to help ensure your citations are for fish and not violations.
So as the weather warms and the days get longer don’t let your time and chance to enjoy the Eastern Shore grow short. It really doesn’t matter, from the salty Atlantic, to the scenic Chesapeake there’s always something to do in this wonderful place that we call home!
