The Wild Life, with Mark Taylor

Who's got the better expression? The flounder or Steve Wray?

After a so-so start to the flounder season, action seems to be really picking up in the lower Chesapeake Bay, with a bunch of citation fish registered the past week or so.

Here's charter captain Steve Wray with one of them, an 11.5-pound monster caught July 4 on live bait near that big structure you can see in the background -- the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.

This shot comes courtesy of Julie Ball, who also included a shot of her with a big flounder, a 7.5 pounder. Some of you may be disappointed that I chose to post this shot and not the shot of Julie, as I know she's got some fans out there. It doesn't look like that shot is up yet on her Web site, but plenty of others are. Plus you can read her detailed reports there, too.

I just got back to Virginia after a trip to South Georgia for my wife's family reunion. I managed to get some fishing in and plan to file a more detailed report -- and possibly a picture not unlike the one above -- later today.
