Other anglers recorded good catches of weakfish at the Third and Fourth islands. Speckled trout action is on the upswing at several of the bayside creeks but the week's heavyweight trout, a 5-10 fish caught by Jody Matisouskey, was beached at Kiptopeke State Park. Good numbers of flounder are showing off Cape Charles but the majority are under 16 inches. Red drum remain a possibility off Cape Charles and even a more likely catch from one of the southern-most seaside barrier islands. Onancock - Captain Wil Laaksonen from Fish and Finn Charters reported steady catches of large spot off Onancock.
Some croaker still linger in area waters.
Grey trout to 5 pounds, porgy, sea mullet and yearling black drum are part of a typical days catch. School stripers are holding along the shoreline, where speckled trout of nearly 8 pounds were caught over the weekend. Other good news from the CBBT, the flounder bite has shown a slight improvement recently. John from Bubba's Marina said a 54-inch striper was brought in but he was unable to weigh the huge fish on the shop's scales. The fish was estimated in the 40-pound range and was reportedly boated at the First Island.
