Went to the ock this evening before dark for a quick few cast with a popper and did get 1 undersized rockfish and a few other blowups. I was stunned when this 25” snakehead took the popper. It’s my first snakehead and I handled it just like a rookie. After I carefully removed all 6 trebles it jumped off my hand and darted right to the water. No flopping or disorientation. Just like a snake it slithered right back in. Lesson learned - on the stringer before I remove the hooks : ) Show more

I went out last night to try for white perch in my usual Cecil side spot. I only caught 2 both on fly. Also tried the usual small gurbs and twisters too and nothing. There were 4 other guys fishing the same spot and they all blanked except I saw one small crappie come up on a spinner. I think the White Perch run is over for this year. Show more

Trucks were parked 4 and 5 deep all the way around the point. No social distancing here. Only saw one drum caught and a couple of rays.

Today we attempted to fish with heavy rain and wind leftover from the storm and only caught one whiting. W’lll brave rain nd wind again tomorrow. Show more

As usual most were throw-backs but we managed to put 12 “keepers” in the box. They were all males and ranged from 9-12 inches. The best bite was still deep and favored night crawlers. We saw some boats fishing shallower but they did not appear to be catching as many. Water temp was 52F so it might be another week or so before the shore bite really turns on. Show more
