The water is warm and there is a variety of fish.
Anglers continue to catch the ever-popular flounder in the bay.
Anglers can catch flounder in the deeper channels in August, along with catches of croaker, spot, and trout. These other fish will take a combination bait of bloodworm and squid. August is the month that vacationers can wet a line almost anywhere with a piece of bloodworm on a small hook and catch spot and croaker. The 125th Street recreational pier that is usually just good for crabbing will give up spot and small croaker for the little guys just learning to fish. The pier and bulkhead behind Convention Hall is also a good place to take the young and learning.
