Moved to Garden City back in May and FINALLY have my boat down in Murrells and have time to fish! Can not wait to get some good fall fishing.
I have been running a 48’ Ocean from Ocean City, MD and a 19’ Trophy Center console on the chesapeake bay for 25 years. Love drift fishing for flounder in shore, but really like trolling when off shore. Found some great details on here already, like reefs, holes, GPS points, etc…
Any suggestions for getting out this week and next week for some near shore trolling? Will most likely drag artificial like spoons, green machines (with birds), etc…
Thoughts? Or within 10 miles of shore am i going to be FAR better off bottom fishing reefs with mullet or mud minnows?
I’ve seen lots of reports of big Spanish being caught right off the beaches and at Paradise reef right now. That was always one of my favorite things to do nearshore when I lived there. Trolling clarkspoons or freeline mullet for the bigger ones. Be sure to report back.
Drug the boat down from Baltimore this morning, 4am departure and all the effort of greasing bearings, new wheels/tires, etc paid off - no excitement on the 500 mile journey
I figured spoons would be productive, as well as some smaller green machines, bucktails with varying sizes of sassy shad bodies, etc…
I’ll be chatting up the local fishing fleet this week and target a bit of weekend fishing.
I will be happy to report back with anything I figure out. Fun to try targeting new structures, reefs, drops and see if I can get productive quickly - or learn along the way at least. Thanks for the notes back guys! Keep em coming
Lots of spanish on the beach. Tons of Bait and the Red Drum are in the Creeks…Good luck
I’m tired of being told that I have to “spread the wealth” to people who don’t have my work ethic. I’m tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it. I think I’m going fishing…!!
