Flounder were hot this past week. We have seen many big flat fish including Ted Conner’s nine and a half pound catch. Yes, things are looking up! Mullet minnows have showed up but are still very small. The surf fishing is still pretty good with lots of Blue Fish and some Spots and Pompanos. Puppy Drum have been caught late at night in the surf on Mullet. It’s typical summer fishing; small during the day and big catches at night. Both fishing piers are catching Blue Fish and Spanish Mackerel on Got-Cha-Plugs almost all day long. In shore fishing for Spanish Mackerel remains good using Clarkspoons as tackle. They’re not the biggest but they are quite plentiful. Off shore, I have seen some great bottom catches with lots of Grouper and Snapper. King Mackerel and Wahoo as well as Dolphin can be found at all of the off shore weedlines. We at Seagull would like to thank the Island Gazette for such a nice write up in the Spotlight On Business section. Thanks again! Now, get out there and catch that big fish so you too can get in the paper! Keep fishin and releasin… Steve and Karen Labanec Seagull Bait & Tackle 910-458-7135
