Red Drum on the surf
There were some red drum caugth on the beach last weekend in the rain. Shaun Smith landed a 44 incher and JR Griffith had one over 30 inches on Saturday. Both hit cut bait and were caught on 3R's road.
There was also a red drum caught in the Inlet this week.
We have not heard of any other drum from Delaware beaches since then. There have been several reported on Assateague Island this week.
Still getting reports of spot, kings and small blues on the surf. We have live sand worms.
Looks like fresh mullet are definetly done for the season. We have not seen any since the storm two weeks ago.
Tog are hitting in the Inlet Greg Allen checked in with a 17 incher earlier in thw week,
No reports of sheepshead lately.
We have live sand fleas. We have not been able to get live green crabs. Maybe Friday around noon but the supplier was not optomistic.
Snapper blues are coming in the Inlet on the daytime incoming tide. Typically the first and last hour of the tide. But that can change from day to day. Look for feeding birds.
Pay attention to the weather forecast. They are calling for rain and wind Sunday and Monday.
