Harbor Tackle Fishing Report August 3, 2009

We have got the summer doldrums in the surf. Plenty of sharks, skates, rays along with a few croakers, blues, and kingfish. Lots of undersized flounder with a few legals mixed in. The croakers are spreading out almost everywhere in the bay. The Rt 50 Bridge and the Inlet fishermen are catching some legal stripers, blues, and flounder.

Her first sharks. Joan Putt hooked up with a 7 lb 5 oz 25 7/8 flounder by boat in front of Stinky Beach. Tom Osborn caught a 21 ¼ inch 3 lb 7 oz sea bass 8 miles off Ocean City.
