 Ocean City, MD Report 6-23-2008
Evidenced by the large numbers of excellent catches, it appears that the offshore season has officially started in OC. Yellowfin, Bluefin and Mahi are in stock at the Maryland Canyons, and BFT are being caught inshore. Team Alltackle.com were fishing further north in New England for the FLW Striper Tournament in New London, CT. We weighed fish, however we ended up in the top half of the fleet. We did catch some beautiful 5 pound flounder off Martha's Vineyard in crystal clear water. The Vineyard and Block Island are amazing places to fish.
