I drove down to Taylor's Island on 6/8 for the day to target Speckled Trout and White Perch(my second fishing trip of the year). I didn't account for the very high tide with the full moon, and had to improvise from my usual launching point.
I started off by targeting White Perch on my light tackle rod, 50 yards from the launch point and I hooked on to my first big speckled trout of the year and lost it at the kayak as I forgot my net in my truck ... I ended up paddling back to the launch point to get my net...
I found a deep channel drop off and anchored a few yards from it, the next 3 hours was exciting, caught 131 white perch(mostly 9") back to back to back... mixed in with several 16-18 inch stripers. Kept the 11"-13" White Perch for future meals. I got to the point that white perch fishing was getting boring, and went to search for those gator Specks. After 2 hours and no Specks in sight, dropped a few crab trot lines and it was irritating the huge amount of crabs slightly below the 5" mark. Caught 9 decent size crabs and called it a day.
It was a great day especially for my second fishing trip of the year on the bay, possibly heading further south to find these elusive Gator Specks Thursday. Anyone know any fishing reports for Crisfield?
