Sharkin' Time Is Here!

As the heat of summer bears on, the one fish we can count on is the croaker. For the next three weeks we are helping young anglers get a taste of competitive fishing with the "captain Steves Youth Croaker Tournament" this is a non-profit fish for fun open to all anglers under 16. Currently Chincoteague Bay Adventure anglers are in first and second place. Elsewhere, the redfish have slowed, waiting for trout to arrive, and flounder are still making it to the cutting board. See you out there, Aloha!

As the comfortable cool temperatures continue, the sharks are still biting, with most of the action focused on the inlet and oceanfront. Croakers, spot and whiting provide a steady stream of bait, as well as some excellent table fare. Large redfish are about, providing trophy opportunities. Look for speckled trout and puppy drum to make their appearance in the coming weeks.

As we move into the dog days of summer, the flounder are staging a return to nearshore waters. Hopefully the moderate temperatures will continue and the bite will carry into August. Elsewhere, the panfish and shark bite continues at the inlet and nearshore ocean. Trout and puppy drum should begin to show in the next few weeks. July is fully booked but there are openings in August. See you on the water, Aloha!
