HAPPY 60TH BIRTHDAY TOM!  We threw a suprise party it was a great time!

Adam Weaver from PA with a nice sand tiger caught off the surf using cut bait !

Fishing the past few days has produced small croakers, some kingfish near the inlet, and a few nice sized flounder.  Despite the murky waters anglers are still picking up some nice flounder on the inside.  A few friends at East Side have been catching croakers with consistency in 10-15 foot of water.  The best rigs for these are the EC surf and bay rigs tipped with bloodworms, fishbites, and or shrimp.  The longshank hools make it easier to pull out the hook of the fishes mouths.  There have eben a few nicer size croaker mixed in with the pinheads.  Off the surf its been a mix of small spot and some nicer kingfish too.  We usually recommend hitting the beach early and later due to better fishing conditions.  You can get an overnight pass from the Visitors Center on the beach and can stay after the park closes as long as you sign in.  This is a great experience its free all you have to do is sign in and sign out when you leave.  This time of year you get a chance at some BIG sharks and rays into the twilight hours into dark.  Charters arew booking up fast so if you wanted to take your and your family out stop by the shop or e-mail info@stevesbaitandtackle.com so we can get you with one of our certified Captains.  We have captains who do backbay trips to offshore wrecks trips and everything from to sightseeing to clammingand crabbing trips.  We are quicky approaching Independance Day thanks for all those past and present who have served our country!  GOOD LUCK FISHING AND HAVE A HAPPY AND SAFE 4TH!

Dirty Dottie on the Reel Screamer with a 22" flounder caught on the inside. Her first keeper of the year.  Brice Lawson her great grandson caught his 3rd keeper this week. Also pictured is Carlton Lawson who has to now put up with Dottie fishing 07/02/13

There are a lot of sharks around here on the island. For those people looking to have their rods doubled over stop on by for some of our custom shark rigs with circle hooks.
Circle hooks make it easier for you to get the hook out. They result in a lipset 90% of the time making it easier for catch and release and easier hook up ratios too.

Timmy and Beth Fox from Berkely Springs, WV with some nice fish taken in the Chincoteague Channel 23.5’’ was their biggest keeper!
