Catching fish with shorts on is a lot more fun than not catching fish with long johns on. Thanks for the report I'm jealous.

Good to see you on here Charlie. Hope all is well with you......... Gary

oops double post

My dad caught a bowfin on a Devils Horse (non-existent lure up here at the time) in the early 70s bass fishing the upper Currituck with his bud. He...

Man, they look wicked

No they are residents from Jurassic period, more than 70 million years ago. Good luck finding that place on a map. Capt Mike

Did they originate in the Middle East?? Asking for a friend..... Gary

On a moonlit night with an extreme high tide they leave the water to have sex with goats. At least that what I was told down in Currytuck sound. ...

Bowfin, grinnell, cypress trout, mudfish, choupique, dogfish Well let me tell you for a fish that is considered trash it is one of the most...

They are related to gars and like a snakehead can breathe out of the water......... Gary

Neither have I. What’s the difference between a bowfin and a snakehead? Do they both have aggressive teeth and appetite? Are they the snake heads...

Thanks - I was baffled. I'd never seen one before-

I have decided that it just doesn't make sense to limit this to just fri, sat & sun. so if you want a full charter or if you have enough to do a...

Several years ago while fishing a Curtis Creek back past the coast guard yard I caught 7 different species of fish using a mepps aglia lure. Great...

i've been using mepps so far this month . The last 2 trips I've hooked 11 bass, landed 7. I had a photo worthy bass hooked yesterday and he was just...

Mepps do the trick, and gotta love Hopkins spoons. Bill

Thanks for sharing your successes in 2019 Capt. Mike. The pictures tell it all, you had a great year. Enjoy your retirement. Mike

It’s tough to use lures now with the winter slime is full bloom. Almost have to use minnows, I do love those mepps and rooster tails

I've had good luck back in Curtis Creek in 20 - 25 feet of water. Mike

I've had my son and I fish the same spot side by side perch fishing. A mepps aglia will usually out-fish any other lure we throw. That's pretty...

I agree, there's not much in a river that pulls harder than a big blue cat. Call them invasive, but blue cats and snakeheads have really added a lot...

I don't blame anyone for keeping there spots tight, especially if it is for making a living. I've only been fishing the Bay for 10 years, and have...

I could have sworn I saw a picture of you holding up a hammer handle pickerel in the public magazine called fish talk magazine in the upper bay...

I only post most of my fishing reports on Facebook where just my friends can see them. At one time there were 65,000 members on Tidalfish. Less now...

Cool, thanks for the 'tip'.

Longtail, hook up the boat and try the Potomac. I know there are some in the Ptap but for really good numbers and REAL quality hit the Potomac. ...

Thanks for the smoking tips. My own small tip is gouda flavored triscuits - for anything fit for a cracker. Depending on how much a purist you are...
