They're Called Summer Flounder For A Rea

The annual Captain Steve's Flounder Tournament is off to a fast start. Opening day we put one fish on the board. We continue to look for that exceptional doormat. The current leader at 5 1/2 pounds has set the bar high. Tournament runs through this Sunday, May 4th. If you'd like to get in on the fun and competition I do have a few slots open this week. Hope to see you out there, Aloha!

Flounder fishing gets an early start as the numbers per trip climb with almost two weeks to go to the big tournament. We will enjoy a few more weeks perhaps of cool mornings and no bugs before the summer rush arrives. See you out there, Aloha!

First flounder caught in Chincoteague (or anywhere really) this year, goes to yours truly. The flounder, a solid 19 incher, was caught March 19th, about 10 days earlier than normal. Although it is still cool and the bite is overall slow, Shadrunner is all spruced up and ready to work. April still has a few open dates but now that fish are showing things will book up fast. We'll be looking for large Black Drum and Stripers out by the surf starting next week. So bundle up and get your spring break on, see you on the water. Aloha!
