Warm Water Bite with Grey Triggerfish

Off the charts bite, this morning! We caught Flounder, Black Sea Bass, Croakers and Dogfish. Sometimes, we caught doubles and multiple hookups at same time! After a few quieter days last week, this was a welcome change. Water was 68, low wind, drift speed ranged from .75 to 2.25 mph, started with heavy, low fog that ended quickly with full sun. With this group, we had a blast!! No long trip to a reef, and we bent rods for less money and just 15 minutes after leaving dock. (Actually, we caught the first two fish 1 minute from dock.?)

We started early on another unexpected windy day, but Sun was shining strong and water was warm and clear. With some heavier weights, we held bottom and picked up our first flounder in a few minutes. We caught Dogfish and Sea Bass, too. Everybody enjoyed all the fish catching in just two hours. Another 5-STAR trip!!! ????

Water was “60!!!!!!” at 8:30AM, today. Yesterday, it was “70!!!!!” That change slowed the bite, for sure. First, we saw some birds diving in the inlet, and trolled. The air was cold! No hits, so we fluked. I quickly realized heat was needed, so we headed back to “the ditch” and found some action at 68 degrees. As the water drained out, we moved closer to the ocean and found some more action. (For the love of Pete! Can Ocean City get some consistent Summer water temps????)?‍??‍??‍?
