(July 2015) … Ray Hamm caught these 2 minnows while using a cast net near Masseys Landing. The longitudinal striped minnow is a female striped mummichog (Fundulus majalis) and the transverse striped one is the male. They are showing their spawning colors in these photos. Great flounder bait for drifting. Usually you see them they are white and not this yellowish color.
There is some great flounder fishing happening in the inland bays and the old grounds is on fire. Bluefish action around the Indian River Inlet and beaches near by. We hammered the kingfish today on mullet chunks and sand fleas were working as well this was about the middle of the outgoing tide with overcast skies at 3Rs drive on beach. Striped bass action has been decent at the inlet as well late at night. The croaker action is crazy all over the place.
Fish On!!
