In the surf there’s still a few large Virginia mullet to be caught on sand fleas or shrimp. In the river still a few speckled trout & some reports of very large striped bass caught in Town Creek.

Due to the death of my father Arthur Nelson Carty, no fishing tip or pictures. Next week we’re gonna try to do some more blast from the past pictures so if you have anything please share. Keep fishing & stay safe.
