Hi all,
Summer is in full swing in Ocean City, MD
Fishing has been great for some, lousy for others.... I am on the second group
Caught a good share of throwback flounders within the last few weeks and finally got a keeper Friday evening.
Will post a picture soon.

Here's pic of the nice flounder I caught Friday.


Back on the water soon to catch some more.

Is that a Fluke or a flounder? Flatties are always fun to catch!

Good eats right there mister!!!!

It's a fluke (Summer flounder), but everyone here just call them flounder.

I love the shirt!!!

Allô Gerry!

It was a very busy weekend on the water.
Temp was gorgeous but too many weekenders boats to truly enjoy fishing.

We coasted a bit south of the city and beached in Assateague Island.


It's a state park starting south of Ocean City MD and going way down to Chincoteague VA.
It is a priceless seashore ecosystem and a sustainable resource.
Plenty of pristine white sands along the coastline. Magnificent wildlife everywhere, and well renowned for their wild ponies.


Within a few minutes we picked about 10 lbs. of delicious wild blackberries.

A lot more to pick on our next trip later this week.

That looks like paradise right there!!!! Thanks For the report...

It's a very REELAX place

We had a wonderful weekend... a bit crowded on the water, but beautiful weather and good biting.
Our neighbours went a bit offshore on Sunday and returned with some nice Mahi-Mahi.
Guess what we have for diner tonight

Still trying to catch some keeper flounders almost every day. Catching many throwbacks and having great time on the water.
This week there was a big fishing tournament "White Marlin Open' with 1st price over a million $$....
Always pleasant to cruise near those fishing vessels.
As we do in Champlain, they search for the bait fish, use their downriggers, outriggers, attractors and secret lures to attract and catch their preys.
Mostly searching for white marlin, blue marlin, sailfish, big eye tuna, blue fin tuna, yellow fin, mahi-mahi, wahoo.

Going 40-80 miles offshore, burning 200-400 gallons of fuel daily.... it's a bit out of my budget.

After some nice sight seeing, time to head back to port.

and a nice sunset

Very nice Gerry. Someday I would like to visit you there...
