travbass2 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2006 Got out the night before last and had a great night. I got 7 flounder, 4 speckled trout over 22", some bluefish, several nice shad, too many schoolie sized stripers to count, gray trout, and a 2lb croaker, all on half and halfs and clousers. Fixed some crab-stuffed flounder for dinner last night and gonna eat the rest of the fillets for lunch with some freinds I'm visiting in Richmond and don't get fresh caught seafood very often. The water in the Bay is just now getting above 70* and the night fishing is getting better and better. Been trying to get over to the Eastern Shore for some drum fishing but everytime I get a chance to go, the wind is howling from a bad direction. I'm not trying to fish the mouth of the Chesapeake in my 17' Whaler with those ocean swells rolling in or the Bay swells making it rough when the wind is out of the SW-N. Give me a soft NE breeze andf I'm all over it. I heard it's supposed to blow softly from that direction monday or tuesday, so it looks like I'll be able to get a few drum up that way. If I do, I'll take pictures and post them, but I'll tell ya now, I'll be soaking cut baits on the bottom for those big Black and Red Drum but soon, I'll be hitting them with flies. Gonna spend some time in the Pamlico Sound later in the month to cash in on the Tarpon and puppy drum. Cannot wait for that!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
