I made the one hour trip to CHSP this morning. I went for croakers and spot, but all I was catching was sea bass and little flounder. So I started fishing for flounder. I caught two keeper flounder. The tide stopped and the fish stopped hitting for me. Pretty neat, I used something I never used before. A little tube bait with a Gulp Sand Worm. Too long of a run for two flounder. Think I will stick with crappie, white, and yellow perch, pickerel, and bass. At least I found out I still know how to filet flounder. What a neat place. If I lived close I would be there a lot. Not one croaker or spot for me.

What time did you leave?

Andy you are one hell of an angler.:fishing: If plan A doesn't work you always have a plan B and B = BETTER. WTG my friend.

At least you caught keeper fish from the reports I read seems like spot and croaker bite mid day the best down there

What time did you leave?

I only fished for about two Hrs. I left around 9:30 AM. Where you on the pier? I only seen three people fishing and one guy netting mullet.

Thanks catman, your one of the reasons I keep posting. I'm just an old man with a five gallon bucket. catman, I won't be going there any more this year. It is too far to drive for two flounder.

That is one reason I won't ride with anyone to go fishing. No way I'm gone to be there Mid. day.

I envy how much time you get to spend time on/at the water, Andy. Good job on the flounder.

I'm down here on vacation, I stopped by the pier to check it out- was going to buy a new reel because my pier reel I had kicked the bucket and I haven't bought a new nice one yet. I was there around 10-1030 area

Did you see any fish caught?

I have lived a few blocks from good fishing waters most of my life. Makes it easy to be at the water every morning.

Andy I was only there a few minutes-maybe 10-15?????? In that time I saw a couple dozen mullet get netted and 2 spot off bloodworms on the end of of the pier.

YIKES!!!

 

[catman]

I sent the photo to Kono @ 50 and she verified it to be 17 3/4". Can't argue with her.

OH MY! Here we go. Sorry you are wrong. It was checked from one of the pier fisherman. It made it Kracka. You think I would lay it on the measuring lid if it was under size. Yes you probably do think I would. Thanks!

No catman, it was a hair over 16". I laid it on the cooler wrong. If you post almost every day like I do. I guess some don't like that. But as long as some do like my little fish reports, I will keep posting. Thanks!

Cooler lid measuring is also notoriously inaccurate. VMRC here will write you a ticket if you measure the fish on your cooler and it's legal, but not on their tape... I find craftsman to be the most accurate...

If you seen my post, I said one of the pier fisherman checked it. He used a fisherman's tape.

 

[ASK4Fish]

I was defending that your fish was likely legal. Cooler inches are generally longer than an actual inch.
