yeah, good job...I've long suspected that Red's lay in waiting in the back bay, now that confirms it

Cobia from the pier and red drum in the bay!

I could get used to this global warming stuff

I've been catching spot in my canal on 28th street for the past 20 years and in the past 2 years, in the fall, I've probably caught 2 dozen reds while spot fishing or in the cast net. Never seen it before then but they put a hell of a bend in an ultralight with 4# mono! I'm pretty sure that if someone were to take the time and fish the shallow marshes WAY up past the 90 bridge you'd probably get into some puppies and specks.

Spot are the ONLY thing that boat has caught this year

There is something seriously wrong with my ability to catch anything edible this year.

Im wth you Dave

now when do the Tarpon show-up

Dave Sikorski · 07-25-2008, 12:21 PM

Who's to say the Tarpon aren't here already?

I've heard a few tales of them being caught in the bay in nets at the same latitude.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone didn't catch one in the next 5 years in MD waters

Dave, I'm hearin' ya' bro' and I've been trying for 3 years now to put together a trip way down south behind Assateauge, in all thoses skinny water lagoons and cannals in and around Popes Bay and Pirate island wth someone who is good wth a flyrod, up on the bow

They've been caught at the first lump before. During the tuna tourney I was down the parking lot way and saw no less than half a dozen cobia. They were either hanging around sunfish or turtles and one of them was well over 50#'s. Another relative newcomer is the pinfish. Never caught them while spot fishing till about 5 or 6 years ago.
