All the Specks DID NOT Die last winter……….yay!!!!

Tommy with a great Speck Today! May 12

 

Last year we didn’t get the first speck until June 3.  Today, May 12 we caught 5!  All over 16″ and 4 of 5 18″-20″.  Nothing huge but a start for sure!  All specks were caught on 4″ Chartruese and white Bust’m Baits Paddle tails.  Along with Specks, Stripers are active in shallow water areas with rips, stumps and grass beds.

Hot Shallow Water/Surface Plug bite! What a great few days of catching! Walk-On Booked Solid for this tuesday!

Sunrise Surface Plugger! 35″er to start the day!

 

Last few days of fishing has been a big hit!  Catching fish in most shallow water areas I’m fishing.  Today we immediately hit many great fish on surface plugs.  Yesterday we caught many fish but none over 30″…..today was a different story.  A few over 30″ on light tackle is a real good thing!  Looks as though many fish have rolled out of the spawning rivers.  Over the last 4 days I’ve seen more and larger fish in the mix over in the eastern shore and on the western shore in skinny water.  It’s all good!  Best baits have been surface plugs (Storm Chug Bugs and Stillwater Smack’it’s)  Color doesn’t seem to matter….I guess what ever you like will work if the fish are present.  When I’m not catching I move quickly to my next spot…..always on the hunt.  Today was one of those days where I looked pretty smart!  I like that!

May Worm eating 32″er……..real nice on light tackle in skinny water!

 

Great stripers caught shallow on light tackle……just awesome!

Spawned out big one…..eating hard today!

Running across a flat sea…..sweet!

Haven’t Been Fishing This Week…….Darn Wind! A look ahead……Walk-On Trips Open!

Some great post spawn fish in the shallows to come!

Well folks……the wind has kept me off the water.  The “Trophy” season is in full swing.  Charter boats are trolling up “hopefully” post spawn fish.  I’m not seeing huge numbers coming back to the docks.  The main line charter boats are getting their limits.  The weekender folks aren’t fairing as well.  Last year everybody and their uncle were trolling up big fish.  I think the majority of fish are up rivers right now doing their thing.  Shouldn’t be long and many fish will find their way out of the rivers and get into some skinny water stuff over in the eastern shore islands.  Last year starting this coming week I did real well at the power plant early then running south to the islands.  On a few trips over in the islands I’ve caught fish well on nice days….not so well in NW wind.  As the spawn winds down good numbers of nice fish should happen.  All a blast on the light sticks!  Hopeful to pop a Speck or two while fishing the shallow structure in the islands.  All my trips coming up will probably start at  0-dark 30 at the power plant.  After a hopeful good start at the plant I’ll run south and east to the islands to cover some incredible water and catch good numbers of nice fish.  Here is what I’m talking about……

Island Nook and Crannies

 

Pretty shallow water island fish

LIght tackle stump’in!

Big Fish in shallow 2014, 2015? Hoping!!!!

pretty stuff, exciting fishing!

post spawn light tackle 2015
