Just wanted to let everyone know that I have started to book days for 2015 already. Don’t worry – the calender is basically still WIDE OPEN, but bookings are slowing filling in so if you have a specific date you want – don’t wait! Give me a shout and lets get you on the calender.
Matt and I headed up to the Elizabeth River – I’ll just let the photos do the talkin.
Matt and I headed up yesterday afternoon because we were desperate to catch some fish. We usually don’t go up the days after a hard rain because the water looks like chocolate milk. Well, sure enough – it looked like chocolate milk. We knew we were doomed as soon as we pulled up to the launch. Fished for a couple hours with only 1 trout to show. The water temps are in the low 40’s and the fish just won’t move a whole lot to eat your bait. When the water is super dirty – they are VERY inactive. Oh well – I did burn some calories.
After a brutal cold snap – the puppy drum finally pushed out of the sound. Fish are being caught in and around the inlet and beaches. This is the same scenario we had last year – and we enjoyed excellent fishing during what would typically be a very slow time of year. Well, they are back – and they are bigger! I headed down this afternoon and bagged a couple on the fly rod. Sure is nice to have some fish to pull on close to home.
