Another site had reports of small spoons and sassy shads catching a fair amount of undersized fish in Indian River Inlet. Nothing to bring back but good activity for January.

Someone posted a report on the Chesapeake board on fishing the rips off of Cape May on a charter boat last week. They caught over 40 stripers, but none in the Bubba range...

Said he posted there because this board is dead [grin]!

YEP! BUT-- IT SEEMS THAT CAPE HENRY LITE ACTION'S PICKING UP, FINALLY!! USUALLY WE CAN JUDGE A LITTLE BETTER IF WE KNOW IF THE "BITE" OF BUBBA'S HAS BEEN OFF THE DEL. COAST, THEN IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TWO OR THREE DAYS WHEN WE CAN EXPECT THE SAME IN OUR AREA..

Fished two days last week just south of you, same senario found the birds but the fish were the same size. Heard of a supposed big fish bite today (50-60lb fish) between chincoteague and Watchapreague. Waiting for definite confirmation.

HEARD ABOUT IT ALSO,,,,,SOUNDS PRETTY RELIABLE--- GOING SOUTH FRI AM, THO. ALL YA WANT IN THE 35-40" RANGE...JUST GOTTA FIND THEM BIRDS!

Update on the research. A couple of responses to big fish between Chincoteague and wachapreague. The big fish have been there mixed reports on where!!!! Deductive reason would lead to believe from 9-16 miles, winterquarter seems to be the most reasonable conclusion or therabouts. Find the birds and you win! Good luck

THEY'RE HERE!-OFF THE VA BEACH COAST!! TONS OF THEM-ALL SIZES!-BUT WATCH FOR THE WHALES THAT THE BAITFISH HAVE ATTRACTED!!

I was at IRI today there was a lot of action on stripers. They ranged from 19" to 26", with most in the upper end. No keepers but it was a ton of fun.

Sorry for the delay. We headed out of Greenbackville last thurs and traveled 15-17 miles south. There they were, more birds that imaginable and substantial rockfish, could have caught all day but just caught our limit and left. 4 fish exceeded 30 lbs.
