A memo released by the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council staff on revised the earlier recommended flounder/fluke cuts downward from 43 percent to 25 percent for 2016.
In making the revision, the Council staff recognized the substantial negative impact such a reduction would have on the recreational and commercial fisheries, the seafood industry and markets and fishing communities they support.

Such a cut would have a devastating effect on local charter and party boats, bait and tackle shops and recreational ...Published on 06-06-2014 04:35 PM

The strong rockfish chumming bite continues. Johnny at Angler’s recommends chumming in 30 to 35 feet of water at Hacketts, Tollys, Podickory Point, Love Point and Gum Thickets. Larger rock have come from slightly deeper water; Johnny reported a dandy 37-incher chummed up in 38 to 40 feet of water at Hacketts. Trollers have been pulling 8- to 12-inch inlines and have had their best bites in 25 to 30 feet of water.

Well, the results are in, and the 2014 Winner of the 31st Annual Championship on the Chesapeake is Gene Walker, who took home a whopping $63,000 with a 48 pound Rockfish. I’d say that is one fine day of fishing and worth tipping some spirits back at home port.
