Surf Fishing in Assateague

Type: Coast
Region: Eastern
Location: Assateague Island State Park

I had the opportunity to go out surf fishing at the Assateague Island State Park on July 8 and 9. I caught a mess of Spot and Kingfish both days. The attached picture is from the first day. Fished the incoming tide both days, used bloodworm flavored Fishbites and #4 hooks � even the little ones feel big in the surf! Tried to do some night fishing as well, but conditions just weren�t right and I didn�t have any luck. Next time maybe I�ll hook into one of those sharks I�ve been hearing about.
