Huge Croaker from York River, VA.

Got this pic from my nephew Matt, who lives in Virginia. Matt caught these flounder and croaker on a recent fishing trip to York River. Why can't we catch croakers like this in North Carolina? Matt says we just don't know how to fish. LOL but, I think I know why, what do you think?
Nice Catch Matt! Thanks for sending the pic.

Surf anglers are catching a few nice sea mullets in the surf here at Topsail Beach. Glad they are finally moving in. There are also sand fleas (mole crabs) at waters edge. Haven't seen any huge ones, but there are massive colonies of small ones out there, so mom and dad fleas are around somewhere. Just gotta hunt for them. Still catching a few red drum, black drum, mullets a few spots, flounder, and huge runs of spanish from the piers. Some spanish are hitting the three to four pound range. Catch'em up! Surf City Pier reports some sheepshead and spade fish being caught, and a lot more seen swimming around the pilings when the water is clear. Also reports a few flounder, spots, sea mullets, and some good runs of spanish.

Got one Jolly Roger Pier report from a reader.......

Went to the Jolly Roger last night...nice light show provided! (had thunderstorms off Topsail last night) Fishing was slow...caught a few Mullets that went back (2 keepers) a few pin fish, a stingray, a shark, and one nice blue crab that I
thought about keeping! Caught fish on cut shrimp and some pin fish chunks from an unfortunate donor.

Had a few nibbles from a Fish Bits sand flea small size.

Had fun anyway!"

"It's always fun! When we catch something it's just a bonus. Thanks for the report."
