Fished with Mike on the Rockin'Robin today. Left Lynnhaven around 8:00am after netting some of the smallest bait I've seen. Got to the tube b/t 3rd and 4th and started drift. Caught first flattie, 21", on first pass. Picked up keepers on just about every drift along with 4 throw backs. Ended up missing our limit by 3 fish(9 keepers). One was right at 16.5" and the rest were between 17-19, with the biggest going to Mike at 22". We used flounder rigs with cut squid and bluefish and the small live bait, most were on the cut bait.

On a personal note...I got my first Grand Slam today along with the flounder
It was the Chesapeake Bay Trash Slam...dogfish, skate, and oyster toad!! biggrin.gif
What a day!!!

Catch 'em Up!!

Nice work. Don't you hate it when you get a small skate on and you think it might be a huge flounder except it isn't giving the usual occasional shake and shimmy?
Good things come to those who bait.

yeh!!! It's even worse when you start to see color and you see the shades of brown and your buddy is ready to net it and then...the tail appears mad.gif and away goes the net!! I saw a lot of guys doing the same thing yesterday.

I had my Dad out fishing Friday back in Lynnhaven past the turning basin and he hooked into one of those batrays and it put up one good fight. It was taking him all around the boat. It made a couple of crabbers stop to watch him play tug-o-war with it. End result...Ray 1, Dad 0. But he's got a story to tell!!

on 6.18.05 i took the old man and his best fishing buddy from new jersey out on the water after some flatties. we saw the masses near the third and fourth and i kinda shied away from em. we did a few runs near the red buoy at the fourth in some deep 50 - 60 foot water and caught a couple 18-19 inchers (tide outgoing). then we moved over to the north side of the fourth and worked the ocean side hump that runs from the pilings toward the rocks (man its deep off that end). the tide was still outgoing but starting to slow down, when my dads buddy paul hooks and lands a nice 7 lb 6 ozer. we did a few more drifts with some shorts on the west side of the island as the current really started to die. there were 4 boats over there spade fishing - i didnt see em catch anything. it was a nice day on the water out there.

Yeah, but what's great is when you think you've got a skate and pull up a nice flounder!!! The biggest I've caught this year (not huge by any stretch, but 22") felt like dead weight like a skate sometimes does, so I'm reeling it in, pissed off, 'cause I'm fishing alone, thinking now I've got to get that darn thing off, rebait, try to get my drift on, etc., etc., and up comes this nice fat flounder!! Made my day. biggrin.gif
