Fishing Report 7.12.10
No citations registered this week.
Flounder have finally arrived in the Buoy 42 and Cell areas. From Tuesday of last week on through the weekend, fihermen caught good numbers of keeper fish. The Gloucester Boys and Girls Club Tournament 1st and second place fish came from that area as did good catches of less spectacular fish.
There are a lot of small spadefish at the Cell and at Wolftrap. There may be large fish showing as well but the little ones are stealing the bait.
The croaker bite in the Rappahanock continues and is moving into the bay. Good numbers of #2 spot are being caught around Cherry Point, Butlers Hole and the Spike.
Schools of small tailor blues are everywhere in open waters and can be trolled up at 3-5 knots.
Spanish Maceral have arrived and can be caught trolling Clark spoons or small Drone spoons at 6-8 Kts vicinity of Windmill Point bar south to Wolftrap Light.
Cobia continue to be caught around New Point Light and on York Spit.
Shallow water fishermen continue to catch a mixed bag of spot, croaker, sea mullet and small flounder.
Catch of the week goes to Dwayne Smith and his wife, Lynn of Ladysmith, VA, who caught seven nice flounder on Thursday near Buoy 42 jigging 7″ Gulp shad.
Tight Lines,
Jerry
