Kiptopeke, VA Tog Fishing 4/7-8

Aight who's interested? I know it is easter weekend, but I'm making the trip down. Will be leaving either Friday night after I get off work at 7:30pm or early Saturday morning going the Eastern Shore Route.

I'm gonna fish regardless of weather. I've been out there in some snotty stuff in December so it can't be as bad as that. Also I need to test out the Yak Attack GunnAll Skin!! I'll probably sleep in my car Friday, Saturday night or maybe try and find a cheap hotel room.

I know Tyler (MDFishin) is gonna try to make, who else is game for a little easter tog hunt!!

Yeah there was some internet sarcasm in my quote lol. Im hoping for the best of conditions, but im not one to shy away from something because of a little foul weather. I wont go out in anything unsafe, or beyond my capablities, but we are all constantly learning

[MDFishin]

Weather is looking good as of now, keeping fingers crossed.

I'm thinking CBBT, but if the wind is too high, my back-up will be Kipto. Forecast is 10-15 mph with higher gusts, which is not good for CBBT. Save some togs for me to catch at Kipto....lol

Even at Kipto, high winds/waves will give you a rockin' time. Don't forget to add yak side protectors.

Yeah I checked it out today too.

My plan is to drive down Saturday morning, probably get there around 1... fish all afternoon and maybe into the night.

Then fish all sunday morning, head back home in the afternoon.

Not sure where I should try to get crabs though... i saw yesterday $28 a dozen at annapolis seafood market. I feel like that is pretty expensive for not quite being in season..

Anyone have any suggestions on the way from Calvert County to Kiptopeke?

[MDFishin]

are you looking for blue crabs? I might go into OC and get some sandflea, and green crab. I can get you some if you want, but no blue. Season opened yesteday so I'm sure you can get some at any of the seafood places on the eastern shore.

Yeah I'm gonna try to get some blue crabs... I hoping Mel's will be on the side of the road friday on my way to sunderland from work on friday.

I've seen blue crab as cheap as $1.69/lb, which is about 3 medium crabs. I think Oceans East may have them. They also have frozen clams and sand fleas, and maybe live fiddlers. Shrimp also works well. Comeonfish said shrimp works really well, maybe better than blue crab.

I plan on driving the eastern shore route, so I don't think oceans east is gonna be doable.


Yeah that kinda price sounds a lot better to my wallet

You can get blue crabs from Lotte, there is one in Ellicott city, not sure about on the way to Kipto...
