Coastal:

In ocean city the flounder bite has really picked up big time. Boats are catching 10-15 keepers a trip into the mid 20" range. The hot spots have been the thorofare and behind assateague near the duck blinds. Flounder fishing has also been good at the inshore wrecks but tog and sea bass have been pretty slow. Bluefish can be found at the fingers and lumps and snappers are being caught in the bay. There's been a few sheepshead caught but nothing consistent. There's still a few mako being caught around 20 fathoms. The tuna bite in the canyons has been a Little slower the last couple of days. Boats either caught 1-2 or got skunked yesterday. There's been a few white and blue marlin caught and mahi are pretty plentiful. The first wahoo of the season was caught last weekend. Seems really early! I just saw that the first sheepshead of the year for Indian river inlet was caught this morning. Rockfish have been hit or miss. Last week was really good for schoolie sized fish and a couple keepers mixed in but I haven't heard anything this week. I think everyone's focus is either offshore or flounder at this point.

Chesapeake bay:

There's still some really nice rock fish being caught. Trolling is the best method right now. People are still catching their limits of over/under fish around deale. Guys chumming are producing some nice fish just south of the bay bridge. For those jigging fishing has been a little more tough but they are still catching some nice ones. Croaker is starting to get good. Red drum are still hanging south but a few nice fish have been caught in MD waters. Still haven't heard much about speckled trout unfortunately! Snapper blues are becoming more and more plentiful throughout the bay. Cobia is HOT at the CBBT and I'm planning to give that a shot this weekend. They're also catching some flounder down there as well.

Plenty of options for a good weekend of fishing!
