FLOUNDER & BLACKFISH OPENS • STRIPED BASS SEASON OPENS APRIL 15th • NEW REGULATIONS FOR '2024 • TROUT ACTION IS SPECTACULAR!!
Posted by Joe Wolf on
Flounder and Blackfish opened on April first. Sadly the weather has not been up to par for boats to sail through the bays to target these fish. Local fisherman are starting to gear up for a nice weekend to start targeting these species. When fishing for flounder clam chum is a must, along with mussels. chumming the waters over a muddy bay floor and sending a sandworm to the bottom is the best option to tangle with these flatbacks. Blackfish are a stronger fish found around structure and rock pails. Sandworms, Green crabs, or clam is what you'd want to have on board to have the best shot at these fish.
