Rt 50 area is fished hard for sure----but in the past 3 years I have taken 20 flounder over 7lbs and my largest tipped the scales at over 11lbs...all with in 200 yards of the bridge. It aint all tiny tots there!!

Thanks for the information but I believe that the area near Harpoon Hanna's would be in Delaware waters. I hadn't planned on getting a license for Maryland and Delaware. It might be worthwhile to do so in the future. This year I will try to find some spots south of the Delaware line.

Rich, there are no big flounder near the route 50 bridge, and they certainly would never eat a 6"spot You have to fish in the Thorofare or behind Assateague with a 2" bull minnow, a 3" strip of squid, and 2' of seaweed on your hook

50 bridge sure has big fish but it's so nice to fish elsewhere and not have to be constantly at the wheel.

[rich daiker]

You know it Lance:):)....

I am always on the wheel no matter where I fish. Boat control is the KEY to catching more and bigger fish___ i never just "roll with the tide". I am constantly adjusting my speed and drits to target certian areas in certian areas.... and Mance know the other tricks of the trade!!!!...BTW, still waiting to see pics of your mount from lasy year????

Rich are you fishing out of a yellow Everglades?

[rich daiker]

No. I run a 23' Maycraft. The guy that is in the yellow boat beats that same water as me and from what I can tell, does pretty well most days. He puts in a lot of time, displays good boat control and always has the "right" bait.. He fishes with a neighbor of mine and is well spoken of by him

[jacksdad]

Ah. cc maycraft or pilot house? I see a maycraft from time to time. Always notice that Everglades. Super cool name on the boat and just a beautiful thing to look at.

He does catch fish and I think his trick is, as you mentioned, good bait even when it's tough to get. Living on the water (i think he must, never see him at the ramp) makes it a lot easier to stockpile spot and mullet.

[rich daiker]

Mine is a CCX model.... He lives just north of my place and yes, it is much easier if you have a place on the water and can keep you bait caged up-----just try to keep people from taking it when your not around is the trick??? Mullet are hard to keep for any lenght of time, but spot are pretty hardy if you feed them a little----a few flounder scraps and they are fat and happy----till the hook finds um:)
