CBBT (Sheep! ) Sat 6-13-15

Was on the water after 8 am and caught near slack tide. I later met HokieDJ along the pilings.

I headed for the 1st Island on a pretty good day. Mostly sunny, low wind, calm water, but the air temp was over 90 deg.

Using fiddlers, frozen sand fleas and frozen clam, I used a double hook rig and was looking especially for sheepshead. I did very little jigging for flounder.

Not sure where the other yakers were. HokieDJ and I were the only ones out there on a nice day for yak fishing. Saw a few boats.

Anyway, I caught a lot of croaker, but no flounder. I did land a nice sheepie on fiddler. It pulled my spool nicely (the hook on the sheep's lip was barely on).

Total catch:
- Over 20 croaker
- 2 togs (season is closed)
- 2 toads
- 1 sheepie (20")

A nice day to yak fish, but the current did pick up mid-afternoon.

IF anyone see a orange paddle floating out to sea, it's mine.

Nice sheepie. Still no cbbt flounder? Hoping to go next week...have not taken a single day off in over two weeks now. Got some new cobia jigs I want to try. Sorry to hear about the paddle.

Sweet Efrin!

Sheepies are on my list! I hear they taste great!

[HokieDJ]

I only manage to find a short 15" at the island. Water was dirty pretty much the entire way.

From seeing the fishing reports. Spades are at the island but I was too busy trying to find dinner

[tufnik]

Yep, they are excellent table fare, Abu. Going to have it tonight.

Didn't know you lost your paddle, Dave. Did you loose it going in?

Remember, John. All work and no play...

[HokieDJ]

Didn't realize it until I was on the way back. Must of banged the pilings or the waves popped it out.

On top of that the fish finder decided to do readings 10 ft from the beach

Good job on the sheepie!

Dave,
You often dropped the paddle in the past. will you leash the paddle?
