This past Saturday, Team Reeltime put a trip together for Mr. John Brown of Norfolk, VA and his brother Randy.

Here are the details:
Crew: Lucian, Fletcher, Carl, John, Randy.
Plan: Our goal was to catch some spades, then live bait some flounder. We left Little Creek at 0800, headed to the far side of the bridge in hopes of finding some spades.
We found our spot, anchored up and had perfect looking baits, no takers, We did catch a couple of very healthy OYSTER TOADS ... A little while later Carl reeled in a flounder on a spade rig??? WTH, was his bait on the bottom???
We decided to move south towards the 4th where we managed our 1st keeper, but it was a very nice trigger fish... MMGOOD... A little while later we caught a nice little spade and we thought it was game on... Nope, not for us, the tide changed and started running... We finally moved on to live baiting flounder.
North we went, back to the far side, upon arrival, lines in and flounder started coming over the side, 3 at a time to start then one here and one there... 18", 18.5", 18.75", well you get the picture...
I believe Carl got the first keeper, then we slowly managed a few more... The tide was really ripping and the winds had picked up so we started pushing south, 4th, 3rd, curve, 2nd, tube, 1st, catching more shorts before getting another keeper..
All in all, it was a FUN DAY on the H2O with a FUN CREW!!!
The bite is starting to peak and we have some availability in schedule, so please give us a call and let us set up a trip for you and your party aboard either our 23' Parker or 31' Contender!
