Fishing Report

Chincoteague Island has been a great hot spot for flounder fishing this past spring. Most of the fishermen were reporting large catches of flounder with a lot of throw backs, many of the fishermen have stated that they haven’t seen fishing like this for many years. Most boats were catching 15-20 flounder per day with 1-3 keepers.The hot spot for the big flatties was up the Assateague Channel between the lighthouse and Tom’s Cove campground.

This is world renowned flounder fisherman Mike Gibbons from Richmond Va. He hit the flounder hard last spring and has caught many good size flounder just like this 4 lb flattie he caught drifting down the Assateague Channel close to the Assateague lighthouse. I wonder if he can do it again this spring ? Mike loves fishing right after sunrise with the tide full.
