Surf fishing is on fire!

Andy and I ran out on calm seas in search of flounder and triggerfish. We hit the reef around 8:40am, which apparently was a tad too late. The flounder bite was earlier from reports from friends. We picked at a bunch of shorts, and I was able to land one keeper at least. Loads of little sea bass to haul up too. A few skates and dog sharks in the mix. The water has been clear and blue, which is a great sign of things to co.e as the water warms. Later in the day we fmtried our luck over so.e wrecks, a shift from covering the rubble for flounder. We marked a cloud of fish hovering over the wreck. Turned out to be a lot of hungry triggers! We had a blast catching and releasing them, keeping some for the table. They are really tasty! Andy even got a porgy while dropping down to the wreck. We had action all day, and landed well over 75 fish between us. And we had some tasty fish fillets for a few meals to boot. Don't miss out!

The flounder bite continues to be good. The back bays are a little spotty with a hour to two hour bite window lately. But out front (in the ocean) on the reefs, has been getting better and better. As the waters warm the fishing and species available will improve. Surf fishing has been fun! Lots of sharks and big rays right in the breakers. Kingfish, weakfish, spot, sand perch, and more have all moved in. Boat and surf trips offer something for everyone. Call to get in on the action!

Whether you like the quiet, calm waters of the back bays, or the adventure of open ocean, fishing is getting better. As the water warms and we head into summer the flounder bite is picking up. You need to put the work in, but with good technique and a little luck, you can put a solid catch together. The water out front on the reefs has been clear and blue. Flounder are already holding in their usual summer time haunts. There are also tog and sea bass (not in season) pulling on hooks. Triggerfish shouldn't be far off. And sharks have been popping up here and there. In the back the flounder are biting at different stages of the tide, and holding around various structure. So call to fet in on the action. Its only going to get better.
