Mega hot weekend for doing anything outside short of swimming. Anyone do any fishing or crabbing? Any success? I have a colleague that lives on the... Show more

mike o Rob, I was out in the upper bay Tuesday afternoon. We got a lot of 18" and a couple over 19 yesterday

Flyrob Good to hear Mike. With nights in the 50s next week September is shaping up to be a good month for Rockfish assuming the rain behaves. So when you say upper bay you talking above the Bay Bridge? 15 hours 7 minutes ago

mike o Yes we were north of the bridge. I have heard some good reports about the Susky too. 11 hours 13 minutes ago

Sorry I’ve been MIA lately mostly because I have not been fishing the Susquehanna River or anywhere lately. Work has been on OT since March. Tyler... Show more

Flyrob Thanks guys... we had a couple of more good drum bites here. Managed a few Spanish mackerel and sheepshead all and all a great week. 3 months ago

Capt. Chris Glad to see they opened up the Cape Point at Buxton for surf fishing. Used to fish there until it was closed for the piping plovers! Very nice red drum!!! 3 months ago

Flyrob Hey CC it was closed to truck. Only able to walk out and we had to stay in the water leaving no footprints. The restricted area was a bit confusing and we got a $155 dollar ticket for crossing the line. My advise is to get CLEAR direction from the... Show more 3 months ago

Capt. Chris Glad to see you did so well, Flyrob. We used to do Hatty yearly, but when they closed the point and most of the inlet area to us because of the piping plover, we stopped. Guys were risking it all to kayak around to the point with their stupid... Show more 3 months ago

mer47 That wonders me also Rob. Can't remember right Rob shouldn't they be there around now ? I saw they were getting hickory's up at the dam even with the dirty water. 4 months ago

Flyrob Yes I talked to a guy over the weekend that said he was getting some nice ones 2 at a time from Port Deposit using night crawlers as the water was too dirty for jigs. So they are here just waiting for the river to clean up enough to get them... Show more 4 months ago

Logic Flyrob Sounds like the water is still dirty. We were thinking about the flats tomorrow. Waste of time? Appreciate any help you can provide. Losing the buoy for the season was a great loss for flats anglers. 4 months ago

mudpuppy The C & R season has been the worst in 10 years, at least for me. Was out 3 times and caught only a handful of 18 - 22" fish. And the future isn't looking bright 4 months ago

Flyrob Merrill - I agree with mudpup not much to talk about I guess. I will hopefully give it a try later this week and if I can find anything with fins and a tail to bite I'll let you know. 4 months ago

mer47 Well just to add a little more bad news I go home today from our spring trophy trip and did not have any big fish, we heard of about 100 boats out up through the bay there were 8 fish caught. We did catch 3 shorts in the 22-24" range. My friend had 2 on... Show more 4 months ago

Flyrob Haha... I think it's quite the opposite "we remember this guy and were safe with him around" Nice going on the crappie Merrill! I was wondering the same thing about the river and I plan to check it out today after work. 4 months ago

Flyrob Merrill, I checked the river today and it is stained from the rain Monday but very fishable. That was at the dam Lapidum or the flats might even be cleaner. 4 months ago

Allot of people have been asking me about the White Perch, anyone heard if they are hitting in good numbers up river yet?

mike o Haven't seen one at Deer creek yet. Last night there wasn't much of anything there . I got 1 Hickory and 2 smallies though some other guys there did a little better than I did. 4 months ago

Flyrob Thanks for the update Mike... guess I just need to be patient! 4 months ago

Anyone fish over the weekend? Hear of any rockfish being caught in the flats or Lapidum?

Logic Fished Thursday,Saturday & Sunday. One fish 10# on Thursday fishing the west side only. Saturday lots of boats and a school of 16" to 22" fish on the south end. Caught 25 to 30 fish. Sunday the crowd was gone, had to hunt to find fish but found a... Show more 5 months ago

Flyrob Nice report Logic thanks for the intel. Hard to believe that Sunday was not slammed with boats on the flats seeing how nice it was guess it was a little windy?? 5 months ago

Logic Dead calm, made fishing tough, no drift or trolling motor. Very odd about the lack of boats after the crowd on Saturday. Fish were stuck on the bottom Sunday, BKD had to be within a foot of the bottom. Saturday the fish were all through the water... Show more 5 months ago

Flyrob Also put eyes on the Susquehanna River today and it look really clean and clear. There were no spill gates open and the generation flow was low. Things should be shaping up for catch and release next week if the rain holds. 5 months ago

Flyrob I'll keep that in mind.... 10 months ago

mer47 Rob my thoughts were that with all the dirty water that has come down that when they run a bunch of water it kicks up the sediment from all the mud on the rocks, maybe that's way out there but that is what I was thinking. :<((( 10 months ago
