Fall Flounder Fest!
Fall Flounder Fest!
Oct 26, 2025 Chincoteague
As we enter the last week of October, the north winds are beginning to howl. The trout have left, the Stripers are not yet here (well, maybe a few!), but the Flounder save the day. Our Sunday trip found the bite fast and furious. Keepers were few few, but the action was steady. There are a few stripers around, but it takes dead-eye casting and good hook-setting to bring one on. This should improve as the weather cools. We are returning to the Lake Erie shoreline next week to have some Steelhead fun. If you'd like to play along let me know. These are one on one walk-in trips at easily accessible spots in Erie County. Check our pricing for next year! We have reduced our extra person pricing to keep down the coats for larger groups. Flounder starts April 1st, so book your spot now, and we'll see you then, Aloha!

Getting A Feel For Steel
Getting A Feel For Steel
Oct 7, 2025 Chincoteague
The current drought and heat wave in upstate NY forced us to resort to plan B for salmon season, going to Lake Erie for some early steelhead fishing. While not many steelhead have arrived at the tributaries yet, there were enough fish that were eager to eat and put on a show. In two days of fishing we had 4 fish to hand with many more hook-ups, "Fish on!, Fish off..." looking forward to returning in early November when things should really start to heat up. In the meantime, we'll have to stay busy in Chincoteague with speckled trout, flounder and striped bass. See you out there, Aloha!

We are officially opening the fall sportfishing season after a busy trip yesterday yielded an inshore slam including a keeper flounder. The cooler temperatures are on the way, moving fish around and making them hungry. Conditions should improve from now to Thanksgiving. Weekdays are best as we have the water to ourselves most days. Up north, the salmon are in and the steelhead are on their way. Contact me for Great Lakes angling adventure. See you on the water, aloha!

Falling Into September!
Aug 27, 2025 Chincoteague
Tropical Storm Erin put an early end to shark season, roiling waters and dropping water temps by 15 degrees. As the weather has settled and temps continue to cool Speckled Trout have begun to show back in the marsh. Mostly small now, their size should improve as we move into September. Flounder have resumed eating, and hopefully their size will improve as well. We even had an early Striped Bass on yesterday's trip, showing you can never tell what's at the other end of the line in the fall. A reminder that we will be fishing upstate NY in October for king Salmon, and Erie PA in early November for Steelhead Trout. If you seek some walk and wade adventure contact us for details. See you on the water, Aloha

Hints of Fall!
Hints of Fall!
Aug 5, 2025 Chincoteague
Autumn has come early this year, with some delightful cool weather. As the water temperatures begin to fall, we can expect the warm loving sharks to begin their migration south, along with the croakers and kingfish. Speckled trout and puppy drum should start to show in our marshes and creeks, and a few early striped bass will take up residence along points and structures. Flounder will re-energize and bite well into the fall. The first week of October will find us in Pulaski NY for the King Salmon run, and we will be in Erie PA the first week of November for the beginning of the Steelhead run. If youd like to join in on a land based (wading) outing to try these incredible sports fish, send me a message and we'll set it up. In the meantime, see you on the water, Aloha!
