Harbor Tackle, West Ocean City, Md. Fishing Report for May 14, 2010

Due to the winds this week, fishing was hard on the fishermen. People that braved the sand blasting did hook up with fish. Although striper fishing slowed this past week, some nice fish were still caught. Along with the stripers were skates, dogfish, black drum, and a few sand bar sharks. I’ve heard from a few fishermen this AM and the bite is on. Hopefully, it will keep up throughout the weekend. More flounder are showing up, but not many keepers. The striper bite has been great at the Rt. 50 Bridge at night along with the shad. Still nice tog around however the bite has slowed.

Harbor Tackle has fresh bunker, live bloodworms, live green crabs, live eels, black saltys, live chowder clams, big live minnows, and live peelers.

Finally something to report, I thought I might have to turn my store into Harbor Tackle Candy Store and if for those who know me you know that I would soon eat all my profits. A few of my customers are starting to hook up some stripers at AI using fresh bunker. The Inlet is producing scattered stripers. The tog fishermen are catching fish at the usual places mostly using live green crabs along with frozen sand fleas and live chowder clams. Even though the flounder season does not open until April 17th, some flounder have shown up in the south bay behind Assateague and some stripers have been picked up too.

Devon Fernandez picked up this 23 inch tog using live green crabs at 4th Street in Ocean City.
