Well the flounder fishing has been good. Croaker have been big. But all eyes are on hurricane Earl. Our county has been put in a hurricane watch so WE will close to get us prepared for this storm if conditions warrant. I will try to keep this as up to date as I can.

Hey croaker are still biting good in Oyster. We got some reports of some really nice size fish out of Oyster and also bouy 262. Had a report of a great catch of spots but the wouldnt tell were they caught em. Flounder catch is good in the bay u have to sort through the smaller fish but some real nice ones are around. Small craft is up for the next couple of days but thats just for the ocean. The storm off the coast is causing this not the wind..winds are supposed to be ne 5-10 so the bay and oyster should be nice.

Croaker are doing good over at Oyster. Big croaker were hitting on shrimp. The flounder bite is really good around the cbbt, 36a and the cell. cut bait and minnows are the baits of choice. Spadefish are around the cbbt and plantation light using clam. Cobia bite has improved with reports now in of two to three boate...d yesterday. This should be prime time for the cobia.
