SPEAKING OF FISHING, THAT COVETED FLAT FISH THAT HAS GROWN MEN ITCHING TO GET OUT ON THE WATER AND TRY THEIR DARNEST TO PUT DINNER IN THE COOLER HAS BEGUN TO SHOW UP IN CHINCOTEAGUE WATERS.
ALTHOUGH NOT IN FULL SWING YET, THE FLOUNDER ARE BEING CAUGHT WITH A THROW BACK RATIO ROUGHLY FOR EVERY 5 YOU CATCH, ONE GOES IN THE COOLER. GOOD SIZE ONES, TOO. REPORTS ARE THE SHALLOWS CURRENTLY ARE AROUND 58-60 DEGREE WATER TEMPS WHERE IN THE INLET THE TEMPS ARE AROUND 50-53 DEGREES. MINNOWS, AS USUAL, ARE THE MAIN BAITS, WITH SOME ANGLERS TIPPING THEM WITH GULP OR SQUID. SILVERSIDES ARE A CHALLENGE TO GET RIGHT NOW WITH THE ONES THAT ARE AVAILABLE BEING ON THE SMALL SIDE. LOCATIONS OF FLOUNDER HANG OUT IS THE ASSATEAGUE CHANNEL, NORTH END, UNDER THE BRIDGE, SPOT LOCALS REFER TO AS 'THE JUNKYARD'. ALSO, WATTS BAY AND THE SHALLOWS AT THE BEGINNING OF FOUR MOUTHS.
WE'RE IN FOR SOME GUSTY WINDS FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS WITH A FRONT COMING IN LATE SUNDAY GOING INTO MONDAY WITH POSSIBLE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. SO KEEPING THAT IN MIND, LOOKS AS IF THE MID WEEK TOWARDS THE EASTER WEEKEND WILL BE BETTER FISHING..
