In offshore action chunking at the Lumpy the "Bottom Watcher" Chris Lowe scored this 95# bluefin tuna they also had another bigger tuna released quick by Capt. Dave Lowe. There was a 8 foot shark chasing it. You never know what you are going to see out there.
Fishing Report for today. In the surf this morning there were some kingfish caught and some spot too. Along with skates and an occasional shark. Bait of choice was fishbites/bloodworms tipped with cut bait spot or mullet. You will always increase your chances of hooking up when putting cut bait or squid along with fishbites. Small hooks are the key to catching both spot and kingfish due to their small mouths. Talking to the bay fishermen tonight the inlet area was producing kingfish earlier in the day and spot too, there are also small flounder with a few keepers mixed in the back bay. The bluefish showed up for a bit this afternoon, snappers were taking cut baits best.

A nice kingfish taken from the inlet. Kingfish are some of the best eating fish once again. They are not as bony as croakers they have firm sweet meat.

Check out the hermit crabs they make great pets. We have some jumbo hermits too.

Pete with Yanni( his godson) climbed to the top of the Lighthouse on Assateague a couple days ago. It is a great view from up there, Pete snapped these shots overlooking the Assateague Channel.

We have our crab stickers we were sold out of back in stock.
