It was a beautiful day today in and around Ocean City as we welcomed August and the busiest tournament month of the summer. The ocean was flat calm for most of the day and there were plenty of boats out taking advantage of it.
There has been some reely good cobia fishing over the past few weeks and calm days like today have been the best of it. Ayrton “The Kayak Crouton” of Spring Mix II and Jacob Lewis were out on the ocean today and had an awesome day of cobia fishing. The guys used bucktails to catch and release 12 cobia and boat this jumbo 63 pounder.
Captain Joe Drosey of Rhonda’s Osprey is charter fishing this week, but he’s still scouting for next week’s White Marlin Open. Today Captain Joe had some good fishing putting his anglers on three catch and release whites.
Ocean bottom fishing was a little better today for the fleet as some fish decided to bite. Captain Chris Mizurak of the Angler reported some good flounder fishing with fish up to 4 pounds.
Captain Monty Hawkins of the Morning Star reported a better bite today as well over ocean structure.
Hi Scott,
Today’s weather so much nicer than yesterday’s; the bite a bit better too.
