tough days happen...

Flounder fishing gets an early start as the numbers per trip climb with almost two weeks to go to the big tournament. We will enjoy a few more weeks perhaps of cool mornings and no bugs before the summer rush arrives. See you out there, Aloha!

First flounder caught in Chincoteague (or anywhere really) this year, goes to yours truly. The flounder, a solid 19 incher, was caught March 19th, about 10 days earlier than normal. Although it is still cool and the bite is overall slow, Shadrunner is all spruced up and ready to work. April still has a few open dates but now that fish are showing things will book up fast. We'll be looking for large Black Drum and Stripers out by the surf starting next week. So bundle up and get your spring break on, see you on the water. Aloha!

As the frigid north winds howl, covering the bay with ice, there is a plan for escape. This year's mission: wading the sand flats of Andros Island for bonefish. We will keep up with reports from the field. Back home, we are looking at almost two months before the flounder begin to show. Just enough time to get Shadrunner ready for another fun and sun filled summer. Hoping to see you out there, Aloha!
