I think that there's a James Island near Cambridge at the mouth of the Choptank/Little Choptank but there's no camping that I know of there. Did you mean Jane's Island near Crisfield?

That would be the other James Island he's talking about. Hopefully Capt Matt will chime in and give you the low-down.

cast to the shoreline 4"sassy shad not far from the ramp.

Hey Seadog.

Fishing the shallows Thanksgiving week yields marginal results as most the shallow water action slows down considerably by then depending on water temps. (if temps. are still perhaps around 50 you will still find some fish working the shorelines and submerged structure around the islands and up in the creeks). Most years by time late Nov. arrives the fish have moved out of the shallows except for a few stragglers and reisdent stock schoolies and into open water. We typically chase birds/breaking fish and do some subsurface action and bottom bouncing jigs looking for fish stacked up in late November. Besides trying the shallows casting shads etc. bring some 1 oz. heads, and 4-6" bass assassins and some flies to rig droppers and take a spin out between the north end of Janes Isl, and Kedges straits on southward to around buoy #6 & #8 lookig for surface action and fish schooled up on the finder (dont' always look for birds)
A concept I tell others to help find fish in open water this time of year in the sound is during the week look for the oyster boats and generally within the vicinity of the area they're working you most often find fish stacked up close by and birds working bait on the surface. Just use your fish finder and cover depths of about 15-30'.

Good luck and I hope you, your son and father have an enjoyable trip and good time fishing the area. Feel free to drop me a line if you need any more info.
