Fishing Report by Sue Foster


Water Temperature (WTMP): 71.8 °F

Fishing this week was fair on keeper flounder for the anglers fishing live 
spot. Fishing was good on kingfish in the surf, and great on stripers at the 
Indian River Inlet and Ocean City Inlet. Some sheepshead were caught. Some 
large bluefish and stripers were caught from the  Rt. 50 Bridge. The first 
croaker were reported from around the Rt. 90 Bridge.  Offshore sea bass 
fishing was still slow.  Further offshore, tuna fishing was good.

Assateague surf saw kingfish and spot on  
Fishbite Bloodworms or real bloodworms, a few bluefish were caught here 
and there on finger mullet, some flounder on strips of any kind of cut bait, 
some small trout on bloodworm and squid, a croaker here and there on squid 
and a few big sharks on bunker or whole squid at night.  A couple short 
stripers were reported.

  Doug Trice of  Delmarva 
Beach Adventures e-mailed in: "We have seen another great week of a 
Whiting bite.  The numbers being caught are rising!  This week has also 
produced a good Flounder bite in the surf!  Here they come!  Walks down the 
beach casting Sneaky Pete rigs with squid strips are going to fill our days. 
Again Bunker, Bloodworms, and Squid are doing the trick.  While chunking 
baits and leaving them in the sand spikes, it has shown that the rigs that 
have been the furthest out, have been producing much more that than those 
that have been in the near shore position.  We have been focusing on Fish 
Finders with 4" leaders and the biggest hook is a 1/0, as well as wire hi / 
lo rigs with the same size hooks.  If hook size is in question go smaller. 
When casting to the outside sandbars, the step drop offs just inside them 
have produced great results.  That is my favorite location when they are 
near enough to cast to.  We expect to see more and more Flounder and great 
times.  In the mean time FISH ON!"

will take you to Assateague Island to surf fish. 443-944-3468.


We at Fenwick Tackle and Oyster Bay have had lots of reports of kingfish 
biting on bloods and  
Fishbite Bloodworms on small hooks. These fish seem to bite best in the 
early morning and again in late afternoon into the evening. Combine the 
bloodworm or Fishbites with a small strip of cut bait or squid on the same 
hook for the best results. One man said he caught six on Saturday night and 
threw them all back. These fish are wonderful to eat! Keep them and try 
them!  Some anglers are not using the bloodworm at all, but using little 
strips of fresh bunker with pretty good success.  I always like to tip my 
bloodworm bait with a little strip of "meat."

There were a couple days of windy weather, dirty water, rip currents that 
made surf fishing a little difficult. Despite all that, most people caught 
something if they gave it the time and energy. At night, lots of sharks are 
caught. Box squid has been a very popular bait for the sharks in the Fenwick 
area.


Many anglers ask about reading the beach when surf fishing. "Poppy" a very
good angler has posted another very good description with pictures on
Stripers Online. Check it out: 
Reading the Beach  He draws it out completely! If you're not catching 
fish in the surf, you need to study this!



Stripers! Ocean City Inlet early in the morning and again after dark have 
been producing some stripers on live spot, live eels, and dark colored 
 Swimming Shad lures. Dakota Bittner and his dad Thad have been catching 
them early in the morning. Dakota weighed in a 10 3/4 pound striper on live 
spot on Sunday. It was 30-inch long. His picture is in our new Photo Gallery under 
"Pictures from Ocean City MD Coastal Bays."  Another couple anglers came 
into Fenwick Tackle to say they have had some of the best striper fishing 
they can remember at night around the South Jetty from their boat on live 
eels and live spot.

 Tautog fishing is still happening but the fish are running a lot smaller. 
It seems to be best at the inlet or end of the Oceanic Pier.  Tautog like 
sand fleas or green crabs when they are available. Places to catch tautog 
from the shore are: The bulkhead from 1st to 4th Streets. The ends of the 
streets at 5th and 6th Street, the Route 50 Bridge near the "draw," the 
inlets, and the very end of the Oceanic Pier.

In the summer you can catch sheephead with sand fleas and your tautog rig. 
John Curreri came in with a 7 1/4 pound sheepshead he caught on sand fleas 
from the Ocean City Inlet on 7/20. His picture is in our new Photo Gallery under 
"Pictures from Ocean City MD Coastal Bays."

Stripers and big blues have been biting from the Rt. 50 at night. Anglers 
are using  
Swimming Shad lures spec rigs, Gotcha Plugs, and other soft bodies with 
lead heads such as "Zoom" lures.   Martin and David Chaveca came in with an 
8 pound 10 oz bluefish, 29" caught on a Zoom Lure and a 22.4 pound striper, 
41.5" caught on a Gotcha Plug from the Rt. 50 Bridge on 7/15.  Their picture 
is in our new Photo 
Gallery under "Pictures from Ocean City MD Coastal Bays."  Another man 
came in to say anglers were catch big blues one night and that he lost a big 
one.

If you have any fish reports or tips please share them with us  on
our Ocean City Md Fishing Forum 
Board
or e-mail Sue Foster at:  Oyster 
Bay Tackle.
E-mail me your name and where you are from so we
can put you in our weekly fish reports!

Need  surf
rigs? We have plenty in our shops or buy online!

 J.J. from the Oceanic Pier (410-289-2602) reports much the same action this 
week as last week. There were lots of short flounder with a few "keepers" 
mixed in. There were little sea bass and spot for the kids to catch with 
bloodworms, little pieces of squid, or Fishbite bloodworms.  Tog were biting 
at the end of the pier with most being undersized. Night fishing was good on 
blues, some larger, and shad with a few really nice trout this week. Anglers 
use  Gotcha 
Plugs and  Spec Rigs.

Flounder fishing was happening this week but there were a tremendous amount 
of throwbacks. We didn't take one picture of a flounder this week at Oyster 
Bay Tackle.  The best flounder fishing seemed to be in the deepest holes 
with live spot. Almost everyone that flounder fishes are buying Fishbite 
bloodworms or real bloodworms and catching little spots to catch flounder. 
The first croaker were caught around the Rt. 90 Bridge on Fishbite 
Bloodworms. They weren't real big but at least they were croakers!

Larry Jock from the  Coastal
Fisherman  saw some nice fish this past week:   "Last Tuesday, Dave 
Germroth landed a 7 lb. flounder off the pier on 5th Street. Dolores Weitzel 
caught a 22-inch flounder off the Commercial Dock on a live minnow. Youth 
angler Mason Koehrsen caught an 18-inch flounder in the bay near the 
airport. Arron Lynch landed a 20 inch flounder in the Thorofare. On 
Wednesday, The "Get Sum" came back with a couple of keepers caught near 
Martha's Landing. On Friday, Dave Eader landed 3 keeper flounder in the East 
Channel, north of the Rt. 50 Bridge. Largest was 26-inches. All were caught 
on live spot.


The “Bay Bee” is fishing 4-hour bay fishing trips. Call (410) 213-1121 for 
reservations.

The " Pony Island Express" 2 hour 
fishing trips for flounder are departing from the Old Town Marina at 
Dorchester St. and the bay- (two streets South of the Rt. 50 Bridge) The 
Captain says the "fish are biting, so come on down!" Call 410-289-2565 or 
410-289-6720. Bait and rods are free. All you have to do is bring yourself! 
4 trips daily... These two hour trips are great for the kids to get their 
first experience in flounder fishing. Or if you want to learn yourself and 
have no idea where to begin, what better thing to do than go out with an 
experienced Captain and see how to rig up the lines, bait the hooks, and 
learn where the channels are...


Capt Steve Whitelock of the  Happy 
Hooker(410-289-9125) bay party boat is taking out parties for 2 hour 
flounder trips as well.

Many anglers are catching the small spot with tiny hooks and bloods or 
Fishbite bloods and using them for flounder baits. Others are buying pinfish 
traps or spot traps to catch the spot. Some are catching them in their 
minnow traps.  Real good for flounder fishing....Others are cast netting 
small "peanut" bunkers.

 Flounder bite on  flounder
rigs baited with live minnows, shiners, smelts and squid.  Aqua-clear
rigs are very popular flounder rigs. So are the Sea Striker 2-hook 
flounder rigs in either  
chartreuse or  
pearl.


"The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Fisheries Service 
need
 anglers to continue to participate in the 
Summer Flounder Volunteer Angler Survey. This 
survey is the sole reason we in Maryland have a smaller size limit than 
surrounding states.

Kids are catching spot and crabs up at the North side Park at 127th Street. 
I group caught spot, cut up the spot, and landed a huge ray! The kids had a 
ball!


  Clark from Old Inlet (302-227-7974) reports on the 14th: "There were a 
few bluefish starting to show on the beach prior to the weekend. Look for 
spot, kings and croakers in the the suds.
 Bluefish are running in the Indian River Inlet on the daytime incoming 
tide. The best striper fishing is at night. Dark swim shads are the hot bait 
at the moment. Ken Mayhugh, of Green Castle PA, brought in a 25 pounder. 
Decent tautog bite reported from the Inlet. The hot flounder bite is 8.4 
miles due east of the Inlet. B Buoy and the Old Grounds.

"

 Cape Henlopen Pier is now back open and anglers are catching spot, 
flounder, croaker and small trout.

Capt Bill from Bill's Sports Center in Lewes (302-645-7654) reports bluefin 
tuna at Massey's Landing, Tea Cup, and the 30 fathom line. Dolphin bite has 
been good too. In the surf, kingfish has been biting good on the beach with 
bloods and fake bloods. B-bouy offshore as been good on sea bass and 
flounder. Site 10 and 11 are producing sea bass and flounder.

Anglers now need a DE Fishing License to fish, crab, and clam in DEL:   The 
state has published a very good  
FAQ on the license requirement. IF YOU ARE A BOAT OWNER PLEASE READ 
THIS!

Licenses are now available at Fenwick Tackle.   "Delaware law requires 
your social security number to get a license. A passport or work/education 
visa or passport can be used in leiu of a SSN for foreign born anglers. 
Also, if you are getting a boat license you will need to show your current 
boat registration. Residency is determined by your driver's license. 
If you have a house in Delaware, a boat registered in Delaware, but your 
driver's license is Maryland or PA, you have to buy a non-resident fishing 
or boat license. If you are a non-resident and buy a boat license, you will 
still need to buy an individual license if you want to fish from land. If 
you are a resident. You will get a complimentary individual license.

Individual Delaware Fishing Licenses are now available  
online.  What you want to do is print the sample license to make sure it 
will print OK. Then follow the links and buy your licence and print it out. 
It's as simple as that! You can also print a form and send in for your 
license. It takes 15 days so do it now! The boat licenses are not available 
online, so you need to go to a license agent to buy them. If you plan to 
fish in Delaware this summer, please try to get your license online. A wait 
in a line is likely especially if it's a busy weekend and you come in at 
night. We have extra help in the mornings, so please try to buy them 
in the mornings as opposed to the evenings if you have a choice.
 

We have been selling these licenses for quite some time at Fenwick Tackle. 
We are selling these licenses as a convenience and we did not make up the 
regulations. Please do your homework before coming in and please do not 
argue with us. It's not our fault and we are only following the rules. 
Another words, "Don't shoot the messenger!" If you have an issue, please 
call the Del Dept of Fish and Wildlife. Please take into consideration that 
license writing is labor consuming and non-profitable. Please bring in all 
your information and your reading glasses! Have patience. Customers buying 
rods, reels, tackle and bait come first.  Using a credit card costs extra, 
so bring cash. And please, no checks!


Capt. Monty on the "Morning Star" reports on the 20th: "Hi All,
Heart of summer's a busy time in Ocean City. Weeks and weeks of calm seas 
and warm temperatures..
Would that the fishing were as predictable.
In my last report I wrote:
A tough summer; tough if you expect to fill a box with sea bass. Not so bad 
if you want to enjoy a day on the water and don't mind just catching a 
dinner or two.. And every once in a while either having to go out to 
dinner - or buy freezer bags to put fish up!
Usually lots of throwbacks with a few keepers. Seems like the slower days 
have a much better grade of fish.
Flounder tease - just a handful. Based on my 4 years of fluking the same 
wrecks and natural corals that I've fished for 28; not time yet.
And that is exactly the case now, perhaps a bit tougher. Thought I'd wait 
'till fluke were biting better before sending a new one.
Not Yet. Soon. I hope....
......
Regards, Monty"

Coastal Fisherman reported a some nice sea bass on Morning Star on Friday: 
"The "Morning Star" got into some sea bass. Heaviest was 3 lbs. 15 oz. On 
Wed, The "Morning Star" had a couple of 4lb.+ seabass."

Captain Victor on the Ocean Princess is now fishing for sea bass and tautog- 
410-289-6226.  Captain Victor Buntng on the Ocean Princess reports that 
he wishes he had
a better fishing report for you this week but it looks like your gonna
have to wait for croaker season in a couple weeks for that! What few
seabass we had coming in over the rail last week have all but disappeared.
We're still catching a few seabass, but very few. Luckily were still
seeing a few tog coming in and an occasional flounder. Hopefully the
croakers will make an appearance the last week of July, or at least no
later than the first week of August. That would give us some relief from
these tough days of fishing. If your planning on making a trip with us
sometime soon it's tough to tell you right now what to expect. If the
conditions are right we may concentrate on flounder fishing. We have had
some limited success with the flounders and hopefully they might pick up
in the coming days. If you come down on a windy day, expect to anchor over
a wreck where hopefully we'll pick up some seabass and tog.


Capt. Chris Mizurak of the  Angler 
party boat (410-289-7424)posts: We are sailing daily from 7:30am-2:00pm, 
reservations can be made at 410-289-7424. NEW this fall, we will be taking 
12 hour wreck fishing trips. More information on fall trips to come.

Capt. Rick Yakimowicz of the "Thelma Dale V" Reports from Fisherman's Wharf 
on July 15th:
 "....Fortunately for me the fish Gods have allowed me to have a few 
occasions this past week where I could say that the fishing was pretty 
decent. These moments have allowed me to hold on to what little sanity that 
I still posses in what may go down as one of the toughest summer fishing 
seasons to this date in my recent memory.

Flounder continue to be our main target we do see a few Sea Bass but not 
really anything to get excited about unless catch and release is your game. 
The number of keeper Bass is way short of what we are accustomed to catching 
at this time of the year. The Flounder numbers are actually not all that bad 
I just wish that I could spread them out equally for each trip. Much like 
last weeks performance there is just no consistency in our catch from one 
day to the next. Flounder fishing, as a whole is tough enough even when the 
fishing is good. Everything must fall into place with the wind the tide the 
drift etcetera… etcetera... I can’t say that the Flounder fishing is even 
remotely good at this time but we have had a few moments of greatness, and 
of course on those trips everything did indeed fall into place. I just wish 
we could have a few more of those moments. As a classic example for 
instance, on this past Saturdays trip we landed over ninety Flounder with 
thirty people and we managed to keep almost thirty of them the biggest was 
right around six pounds. They were biting. But on Sunday with high hopes and 
very similar conditions we were only able to keep two Flounder for about 
thirty caught. Very frustrating indeed!
come!

....

Some long trips are planned... Check out below report for dates....

  Capt.Dan Stauffer of the Fin Chaser charter boat 
e-mailed in a couple of his reports:  07/16/08 Decided to roll the dice 
today and run north with four teenagers looking for some of those flat fish. 
Found a decent bite with mostly small Sea Bass and a few flatties which 
would have been legal last year but not this year thanks to the two inch 
minimum size increase. Got very excited when I had two anglers hooked to 
good fish. Turned out to be a skate and a eel, talk about a "trash can 
slam". Back in the slip with one Tog, one Flounder and three Sea Bass. 
Pretty day on the water despite the extreamly slow drift, many times less 
than 0.2 knots, TOO SLOW!!

07/17/08 More great Bluefin action with two guys from Lancaster, PA and one 
from Michigan. Less than thirty minutes into the day and we have a double. 
Decided to put the first fish in the box, a 95 pounder, and release the 
second which looked to be the same size. The guys wanted to run back inside 
to where we have been catching our "under" fish but we couldn't find a 
under. We did however find a nice school of Mahi, eighteen of which made it 
to our box. Released several others since the guys had all they wanted. 
Thought we were going to get ate by a Hammerhead Shark when it made a run at 
our of our short baits only to turn away two feet short of the bait.

07/18/08 Another great Bluefin trip. Less than thirty minutes into the day 
the way back takes off, I mean REALLY takes off. One hour and fifteen 
minutes later Yamamota had his first Bluefin which tipped the scales at 201 
lb.

James A. Donofrio, executive director of the  Recreational Fishing 
Alliance
has been actively working on the summer flounder crisis. The RFA believes 
the future of our fisheries is dependent on fixing the Magnuson-Stevens 
Fishery Conservation and Management Act which has laid down  strict 
time-frames that do not take into account livelihoods and that a fishery is 
rebounding steadily.
 The RFA is fighting hard for our right to fish.
