fish report

Saturday was the day scheduled for my annual fishing charter with Kevin Josenhans along with my son and 2 other friends from the eastern shore. After Kevin verified that we did indeed want to fish the sporty weather (he gave us the chance to bail or reschedule), we agreed to meet at the Somers...

Well we decided to try a new area this past weekend so we ran up to Cambridge. At about 6:45am nearly high tide we launched the boat at Great Marsh Boat Ramp in Cambridge. The plan was to try to catch a few spot up by the rt. 50 bridge then see if there were any stripers around the fishing...

10 mph winds out of the South, 1-2 foot swells. Water clarity sucked, water was dark brown could only see a chartreuse lure about 12 inches deep. Started out around 9am near the bottom of the outgoing tide returned around 3pm. Fished Roaring Point for about an hour and a half with some...

10 mph winds from the South making 2-3 foot swells all day. Fished from 6am until 4pm from the bottom of the early low tide until nearly the next low. Water was very brown with poor visibility. Early on we tried the chimney for a few croaker (biggest of the day came from here at 14"), then...

So after our last few trips were somewhat productive we figured we'd try another long day out. We left Somer's Cove Marina at 6am on the low tide and headed to the sound. Throughout the day and outgoing/incoming tides we tried various sod banks, some drifting and a little anchoring with no...

We had the boat in the water at Somer's Cove Marina by 8am about midway through the falling tide. Winds all day were nearly non-existent and the water was like glass, a great day for my little 18' bow rider. First we tried the channel that cuts into the back side of Jane's Island with no luck...

Fished around The Cove on Sunday afternoon with my niece. Happy to report that she caught & released her 1st fish...a 18" puppy drum! :yes: And I caught & released my 1st speckled trout - 17"! :yes:

Sorry for the novel, I've highlighted the bits most folks care about. I was looking forward to today's weather as I wanted to get out to Smith Island to try fishing the shore for spec and stripers for the first time on my own. Got all the way across the sound but was way to far North from...

10-15 mph winds NW(ish) Really nice day but we just couldn't land on them this time, someone anchored right in the middle of the hole we were on yesterday so we looked for a new area. Caught 6 or 7 catfish from 12-16 inches all released, 8 croaker that we kept only about half in the 12/13...

Small Craft Advisory, 25-30 mph winds from the WNW, no problem, it's the Nanticoke, just find a shoreline and hide ... right? RIGHT! That's what we did today, from 10:30am (nearly dead low tide, and the lowest I've ever seen at the Nanticoke harbor ramp) until 3:30pm. We crossed the river and...
