What a great weekend we had here at IRM. We have a ton of pics to share from the 10th Annual Kids Catch Tournament. The weather and fishing have really turned on both Inshore and Offshore. Enjoy the pics and come on down and watch the catches being weighed in daily at the scale.
Hunter Unruh, Chuck Ryan, Jeff Sills, Norm Wallis, and John Coleman landed the first Swordfish at IRM 65lbs at the Poor Man’s.
Congratulations to all the winning Anglers this year; we sure had a ton of fun with many more pics to come.

Fishing is really turning on both Inshore and offshore. Here are some catches from the past couple of days at IRM.
First mate Hayden Thomas netted this 6.6lb, 26.5-inch flounder for Tom Ostrye from Baltimore, MD. It was caught on the first drop of the afternoon trip on the Judy V. out of Indian River Marina today. Capt. Roger Meekins reported that Tom caught his pool-winning fish at the Old Grounds using shiners.
7 year old Veronica Cilento of Camp Hill, PA caught this Junior Class Citation flounder that weighed in at 5.9lbs and measured 24 1/4 inches in length. The fat fish was caught on the Gale Force with Capt. Aaron Hurd was fishing in the Indian River Bay using minnows.
The Michael D. out of Indian River Marina fished out at the Fenwick Shoal on Tuesday and trolled for bluefish. When they stopped trolling, angler Jason Murrow of York, PA, caught the prized fish. Jason hooked up with this 10lb sheepshead caught using sand fleas.
Also on the trip were Bryant Murrow, Tyler and Bowles, Dan Cooley, Brady Taylor, Travis Klinefelter, Ben Johnson, and Troy Smeltzer.

Inshore reports of Flounder, Sea Bass, Bonitas, Tautog, Thresher sharks, and some Bluefish.
Offshore reports of Yellowfin, Bluefin, and a couple of Big Eye Tunas being landed. Tile fishing is red hot and there have been a few Mahi and a report of a White and Blue Marlin hooked up.
