Fishing Report 7.26.10
Despite record setting heat, a few people fished over the weekend and had good luck on croaker, white perch and spot. Good sized croaker and mullet were caught along the channel edge at Buoy 42 by fishermen remaining just outside the commercial gillnets. The commercials pull their nets about noon to get to market, then recreational fishermen can get onto the schools and into their favorite flounder waters.
Flounder action at the Cell and Buoy 42 was slow. A couple of boats reported a limit of fish but the bite was very early in the morning. There were reports of large numbers of keeper flounder being caught at the CBBT. Perhaps a second run of flounder is entering the bay. If so, we should see them mid-bay in a week or so.
RED DRUM RELEASE CITATIONS:
48″ boated 7/20 by Tracie Davis of Chesterfield on a flounder rig at Buoy 42.
46.5″ boated 7/24 by Christopher Rickman of Sandston also on a flounder rig at Buoy 42.
Tight Lines,
