The past 2 years I have actually been on one of 4 fire company boats that bring the horses across toms cove. What a beautiful place. Im gonna be there next weekend and im gonna also be there for the pony swim next month so if your gonna be there pm me your number so we can get together and show ya around. her dad is also a world renowned duck carver, so come by and get you a duck!! lol !! or one of my fish carvings!!!I will get a report for ya for the surf fishing. I know sound side there doing good with the flounders. Capt. Steves will have all ya need if ya need some tackle

I will be down there june 7-11. I will have my 1 year old son so i will not be able to do a lot of fishing. But my inlaws will be there and they will watch him while i fish. I cant wait till the little guy is old enough to fish.
Is it better to fish during the day or at night? High tide, low tide?

Im not a huge beach fishing guy but Ive done my fair share in my life. Ive always like to fish low to incoming flood tide on the beach. It just always makes sense to me that when the water would get a little fatter it would open the bar up a little more. I would fish several staionary rods and always have a spinner with a gotcha plug on it to fish for spanish and blues and a spinner with strip squid to fish the troughs up front for flounder. I will need to call down there and see what the deal is on the beach. You can go down to the boat ramp at the north end of chincoteague and probally do good with drum in that channel.

When I think surf fishin', I think of all the stuff I'll need...cast net, cooler, buckets, knives, rods, rod holders, tackle and on and on...and I don't wanna be totin' all that stuff...couple of years ago I found myself headed to the coast w/no boat(which Pete & Vic brought remedy to) so started thinkin' along the same lines you are now...anyway, this is what I came up with...and didn't spend a dime puttin together...
