Fresh Assateague Island Fishing Reports

Shorter days, falling leaves and fish on the bite. As we wind up the fall and move towards winter, the fishing has not let us down. Our salmon season was disrupted by a drought on Lake Ontario, so we did two steelhead junkets instead, with a good result on both voyages. Back home, the flounder bite has remained consistent to date, with 14 fish netted this weekend alone. We await the arrival of our winter striped bass. Seeing reports of vast schools off the New Jersey coast has us hopeful for this cold weather fishery. As things shut down here we will look south to Rudee inlet in Virginia Beach for winter redfish and trout . Stay tuna'd, Aloha!

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!

Come see us! Fall striper bite is heating up!

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!

with 70 degree days and cooling nights, the fish are starting to behave like winter is on the way... The flounder are cooperating and moving into the deeper channels and the Tautog are finally getting hungry... looking forward to a beautiful fall season, hoping to meet some new anglers aboard Running Tide Charters...

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!
