Happy Easter everyone!!
I hope you all got to enjoy the day with your families and maybe spend some time outside on this beautiful spring day! It was a tad windy on the bay, but on land it was very nice with warm temps and sunny skies. There were some anglers out as well and we got our first entrants for the new Doormat Derby that we are putting on with Hooked on OC. It’s a season long flounder contest with simple rules.

We had our first entrants for the Doormat Derby come in today when the Evans crew caught some flatties up in the Thorofare. Fulton Evans’ 2.0 pounder is currently in first place in the Derby and Johnny Evans’ 2.0 is currently in second place overall and in the lead in the junior angler category. The crew also caught another flounder and a nice bluefish.
Bear down at the Oceanic Pier in downtown Ocean City sent in some pics of some action that’s been taking place down on the pier this weekend. There has been some reely good short striper action, there have been some tautog caught and the first flounder of the season for the pier came over the railing. Anatoli also caught a tautog from the 3rd street bulkhead.
