They are being caught trolling, casting, and bait fishing. OK, trolling the blues has been best in the area of 139 marker in the Inland Waterway over toward Oyster Creek. A number 2 or 3 tried and true Clarke Spoon is doing well. At this time I feel that the Blue fishing is still best done by drifting and jigging bait down in Grassy Channel or by anchoring the boat at Graveling Point throwing a little chum and fishing some float type rigs. Trolling at this point is still not a good option, but somebody has to catch the first fish trolling.
Lets hope that the blues kick into high gear by next weekend.
Some crabbers are catching good size crabs and good amounts, and other crabbers are catching nothing but small ones. The only way to determine if you have one of the better crab catching lagoons is to try throwing in the overnight crab pot and see what happens. Also worth mentioning, is a little bit of fish activity that may be in the lagoons. Several anglers have reported catching Blowfish while surf fishing. Another customer mentioned catching a keeper size fluke in his crab trap.
