Tyler and I fished with a friend and his son who entered the youth category. Between the 4 of us we brought 5 or 6 keeper rockfish to the boat nothing large enough to make the leaderboard except our youth angler who on his own landed a 22 3/4 inch which gave him a 3rd place finish. Beautiful day on the water and loads of fun too! Show more

"The Point" (Cape Point) was close the entire week to all driving & walking traffic due to nesting Plovers. Therefore our usual big red drum spot was off the table for the week. Overall a good week, weather was perfect, did a charter on Monday with Tuna Fever out of Oregon Inlet, kind of a slow day with most action coming from Skippys with a few small yellow/black fin tuna and mahi mixed in. The highlight for me was FINALLY after 30 years of trying to get speckled trout on the fly rod in the sound we had some success this trip. Being forced to find fish other than "The Point" kept me on the sound side trying different patterns, spots and line. Between popping cork and fly probably brought 30+ specs to hand with about 5 of those being keepers. Show more

Managed to string 5 keeper size 9-10 inch range with 1 being 11 inches. Also on the same 3" fly caught smallmouth, yellow perch and rockfish but surprisingly no shad. The day before I couldn't keep them off my line. Show more

Fished the Cecil side of the Susky last evening and FINALLY had the fly rod come tight on hickory shad, rockfish and white perch. The hicks were on fire every drift was a tug, flash or bite. The problem I had with perch was keeping the bait away from the shad. The perch were small no big ones. The Dam was running 42,000 cfs water was clean and clear didn't get a temp. Show more

Just the right weight and profile easy to cast with a 5wt with straight floating line. Weight forward will carry a little more distance then I was getting. Overall I can't wait to use this once the 2021 Cicadas hatch ramps up. Show more

Tried, minnows, soft plastic, hard plastic, fly and no snakes. We had one shiner bit in half assume that was a snake. Water temp drop maybe shut them off. Cool ramp shot. Show more

We had constant action of pickups and drops and brought about 20 fish to hand. All were in the 10-20lb range..... loads of fun. Tried out the a cool measuring app on my phone. It was pretty accurate that fish was almost exactly 27". I plan to try it out next year for catch and release to minimize time out of the water. You can get a measurement and picture at the same time. Show more

The weather has been working against us with high NE winds, 6 straight days of sideways rain and cold. Yesterday was the first day with sun and wind shift out of the SW which is typically good for the Drum bite. We tried all the usual hotspots with fresh menhaden 55, 44, 43 and south side of Cape Point last hour up until dark and we still had all the bait we started with nothing touched it. Were back to cold north wind again today but at least there's sun... I hope to give it a try again tomorrow. Show more
