Chincoteague Fishing Report

Susie Doershhner from Pittsburgh PA caught this 27.5 inch 8 pound citation flounder fishing with Capt. Shawn aboard the Tortuga

Becky Danison from Fance Gap, PA with her 21.5 inch 4 pound flounder.

Dale Bechtold from Lebenon, PA with this 20 inch 3 pound flounder they had 29 throwbacks and this keeper yesterday

Sam Kiger caught this 21 inch flounder off of Memorial Park.

Here are a few crabs I netted yesterday. The crabbing has been really good here lately, nice hefty crabs.

The escaped ponies made their way to the beach and were using the bath house facilities.

The fishing continues to be steady around here. Heard of a lot more kingfish caught near bouye 6 today small longshank hooks are working wonders with fishbites( bloods and shrimp). On the surf still kingfish action was at its best in the morning today. I'll have more to post tomorrow. If you need any help or questions e-mail me or come by the shop we are here for you.

Check out all our crabbing supplies from big pots to hand lines. We have everything you need even commercial gloves the crabs can not bite through. Chicken Necks small and large packs and plenty of bunker. We also got in more fresh bunker tonight good for fishing and crabbing.

Corky Hughes from Marion, MD brought in the catch of the day with this citation Flounder. This fish weighed in at 8 lbs 10 oz. There are still plenty of kingfish biting on the surf with the occasional snapper blue,trout, and croaker mixed in. Anglers fishing near the inlet are also catching plenty of kingfish as well. We have fresh clam in and they were the preferred bait of the surf today, along with bloodworms and fishbites. Tight lines
