CHSP May 2nd Report - Big Blues, Many togs, and a Flounder

[Mbae]

has anyone checked with local tackle shops (bill's sport shop, etc) around the area to see their bait situation? does anyone have green crab and/or live sand fleas? or will it be best that i stop by an asian mart and pick up shrimp. never used shrimp before so im not sure how to be rigging them

Mustafa, make sure you bring more than one stingsilver! I had wire and was still bit off a number of times! The bite off bucktails, a zman shad, a diamond jig, a 2oz popper, and they even ate a bunker I was livelining, the rear hook and then the front hook. Make sure you use some wire and that you bring extra jigs and some zmans if you can find them!

I'm late to posting a report I had a blast watching 2012 Cummings and his buddy on their first saltwater adventure! There were broken rods, broken wire leaders, bite offs, quadruple hook ups, pandemonium as blues went under the boat and some other fun stuff. They even spotted a wolfpack on the flats that you could see tailing which was awesome to be able to get them on top. It was definitely a memorable day!

I got tired from catching blues and took a tog break. Largest was 21" female released, 3 male keepers 16.5, 17.5, 19.5, and a few more smaller female keepers and shorts released. All on jigheads tipped with sandfleas Chimo was kind enough to donate!

I hope the blues stick around for you all next weekend!

Wow thanks for the heads up Mike!

We picked up green crabs last Saturday at a bait shop North of Lewis on Rt1. I never even used them and gave them away but they were available.

The bait shop I usually go to in Northern Delaware said they would have them this week. I can't verify that though.

I don't eat fish so the 3ft Blues interested me more the tog. Used spoons and paddle tails and buck tails

Out here right now

Nice bro! Pumping us up!! LOL

[Mbae]

yeah seriously... glad to see the bite is still hot!

[Cowpokey]

Dang I wish I was home so I could get in on the blues! Anyone think they'll stick around a couple more weeks?

Here is a very rough video I put together after our trip on Tuesday. The fish were so thick that the fish finder lit up just before most take downs. At one point you can see me question why I hadn't hooked up yet. Haha, that's how you know the fishing is good.

[Goody]

Awesome action. Can't wait to get out there.

great video! were you trolling with spoons?

[Shady]

He came back! Hahaha

Yes. I caught the majority of the fish on a silver spoon, but they were mostly in shallow water less than 8 ft. I think they'd hit anything you'd put in front of them.

He came back! Hahaha

True happiness. Lol

When you guys are out there watch out because you might wind up catching some live bait.



It is going to be congested this Saturday. I counted 12 boats in about a 1/4 square mile spot. My only consolation was the guy that scared away our school ran aground.

You may want to bring some heavy buck tails. In my limited experience vertical jigging was much more productive then trolling. The area we found them stacked when we first got there had some ripping current. I started with one once and quickly switched to 1 1/2 and actually wish I had a 3 ounce one.
