Charley and Amanda Pitts stopped by to show off there nice catch of flounder Sunday after noon.  The biggest in the box was 4Lb and 9 ounces followed up by a nice 2Lb and 14 ounce flatty.  They said the fishing in and around the reefs was some of the best they had seen in a long time.

O.C. reef Door Mat....

Cheek out this 10 pound 30 inch flounder.  Landed by Dusty Laricks of Sea Isle City at the Ocean City Reef.  He said the secret was a Hi hook rig.  Just a sinker on the bottom and keeping the hook 3-8 inches off the bottom.  Squid and minnow combo was the food of choice for this doormat.. They had good action all day with some other keepers and a bunch of throw backs.
