CAPT.ZEDS WEIGHED IN A 7LB 9OZ FLOUNDER ON FRIDAY, CAUGHT BY RON BLANKENSHIP FROM BALTIMORE. THE FISH WAS CAUGHT AT GREEN AND DRAWING CHANNEL. THIS COMING WEEKEND'S WEATHER LOOKS GOOD FOR THE START OF FLOUNDER TOURNAMENT.
Fishing Report --March 30. 2009 at 08:18 FLOUNDER FISHING ACTION HAS IMPROVED WITH THE WARMER TEMPERATURES. TWO GENTLEMAN REPORTED TO CAPT. ZED'S THAT ONE DAY THEY CAUGHT APP. 40 FISH AND WERE ABLE TO KEEP 4 FISH. THESE 4 FISH WERE 21 & 22INCHES.
NO REPORT FOR WRECK FISHING YET.
Fishing Report --March 24. 2009 at 09:14 YES THEY ARE CATCHING FISH. FLOUNDER HAVE BEEN REPORT IN WACHAPREAGUE. CAPT. BILL TYSON TOOK HIS OWN BOAT 2 DAYS AND REPORTED CATCHING 2 KEEPERS EACH DAY, WITH 1 BEING 22INCHES.
SO THERE ARE SOME KEEPERS OUT THERE.
Fishing Report --March 9. 2009 at 15:43 ON SATURDAY & SUNDAY CAPT. ZEDS SAW SEVERAL BOATS LEAVING THE DOCK ON THE FIRST FISHABLE DAY TO TRY FOR FLOUNDER.
WE DID NOT SEE ANY FISH BROUGHT TO THE DOCK, BUT RUMOR HAS IT THAT 1-BOAT WAS ABLE TO FIND A COUPLE KEEPERS. HOPEFULLY WITH A FEW MORE WARMER DAYS THE WATER TEMP. WILL WARM UP AND BRING THE FLAT FISH IN. IF WE HEAR OR SEE ANYTHING WE WILL LET YOU KNOW.
