We will be wading the beach so you may want to bring your waders, or if the weather is nice you can wet wade.

This is a very kayak and canoe friendly area so bring them if you have them.

ALL ARE WELCOME!

I will have to miss it this year....will be out of town. However on the bright side I will be fishing there this weekend.

A note about the map:

The Pink shaded sites are available for Friday and Saturday nights. The Blue shaded sights are only available Saturday night.

The map is a few days old, so some of them may already be gone.

[chesapeakeblend]

how long is the drive from the bay bridge for us potential day trippers?

Hmm. I just realized that the 11th is the first day of one of my summer classes (sucks having saturday morning classes). I wonder how critical it is for me to be there??

Lets see, considering I half assed the end of last semester and still did well, the reverse should be true too, right?

[spilunkr]

I'm planning on coming up for at least the day on Saturday. I'm still working on making it a family weekend camping trip.

Mike it is about an hour and a half from the BB. Traffic can be bad. It's a straight shot down 404 off of 50. Do a mapquest for Lewes, DE.

I'll be there Ken.

Sawyer....I think you'll be just fine...let the fish guide you!!

I may be there for dawn patrol on Sunday, but can't leave DC until after about 6:00 p.m. Saturday night. [sad] So put me down for a "maybe", but certainly not until darkness on Saturday night at the earliest.

Wife has some training gig to go to, which means I've got Daddy-Day-Care.

[AlexT]

I'm in. I'm going to get a site and sleep in my truck on Saturday night. Ken, looks like you nailed the tide. Hopefully Tony's monster will be back again this year and cruising in close during the high at night. That was a big fish...

FYI for anyone thinking about it, they will NOT let your vehicle in if you are not camping, so you can't spend the night in your truck without a campsite. You need to sign up for a site.

[msusawyer]

Ok, I've been convinced. I'm in. I will be getting a site as well and will likely be bringing a large group along to keep the gf busy.

Edit: I am now the proud owner, albeit temprorary, of site number 56!!!!
