Dockside Café and Marina

Customers at Dockside Cafe and Marina are hitting up the bay and finding a mix of flounder, croakers, triggerfish and spot. The flounder are mostly short fish with the occasional keeper being found for anglers fishing live baits like croakers, snappers or spot. Anglers fishing with small hooks tipped with clam, bloodworm or Fishbites are “bailing” spot and croakers and there are also some smaller triggerfish in the mix.

Dockside Cafe and Marina tells us that it was a good week and a very busy Labor Day Weekend. Many of their customers got out to either crab or fish this week under just about ideal conditions. The flounder fishery has been consistent the last few weeks with dozens of short flounder for anglers fishing the bay with minnows and spearing. Anglers grinding it out and culling those shorts are “eventually” rewarded with a keeper size fish. The local wrecks and reefs are seeing the same problem with many more short fish taking up residence there recently. White perch are a bit further up the creeks and rivers right now while the crabs have been moving into deeper water with the creek temperatures still on the rise.
