Flounder catches are coming from the Baltimore Channel between the Third and Fourth Islands, and some have shown in the Small Boat Channel, reports Bubba's Marina. Tautog fishing is excellent along the CBBT for anglers armed with clam or crab bait. For gray trout, use cut bait or jig with Sting Silvers along the bridge-tunnel. The grass in the water on the seaside is making fishing nearly impossible. Anglers fishing at Morely Wharf at Exmont are catching croaker.
Crabs are scarce.
Cape Charles boaters are heading to the bridge-tunnel to catch flounder and tautog. Grandview Pier and Harrison's Pier were scheduled to open yesterday, and Lynnhaven Pier is slated for opening tomorrow. No one is catching anything along the oceanfront or in Rudee Inlet. The bluewater fleet out of Hatteras got into the best yellowfin bite so far this spring on Sunday, but the fishing has been less reliable since then, says Capt. King mackerel and false albacore are biting well at times.
