Rick from Rick's Bait reports mostly small (not legal size) flounder being caught in Indian River Bay, along with some fair size bluefish and under size stripers. Some of the better areas to fish are around Buoys 12, 14 and the Slough, near South Shore Marina. Bobby Roberts from Easton, MD, fishing with his friend Ray, caught 2 keeper flounder 31bs. 2oz. And 4 Ibs. on shiners, while
fishing near South Shore Marina and the VFW. Rich and Anne Gee from Thurmont, MD.. fishing near the Coast Guard Station, caught several throw back flounder, but Anne managed to boat 2 flounder 18" and 21" Capt. Rich explains he just drives the boat, Anne catches all the fish.
Joe Morris from Lewes Harbor Marina said there have been some good catches of croakers outside of the Outer wall down to Buoys 4 and 6. He added some of these fish are up to 2-l/2 1bs. Keeper flounder have slowed with no citation fish weighed in this week.
Deep Creek Lake is showing signs of calming down from the summer frenzy of vacationers and boaters. The lake is now become a quieter place to fish and fishermen are beginning to take advantage of slightly cooler temperatures. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are still holding to summer patterns of behavior but anglers are reporting that they are not as sluggish.
