Lynhaven 4/22

[Pinch]

Fished somewhere I honestly can not stand because of the wind tonight. Got to the launch about 7 and after launching went directly over to the tennis courts to get out of the wind. Fished with a 1/4 oz jighead and bait fish color super fluke jr.'s. Caught 19 specks and 1 Bluefish. Specks were from 18'' to 21'' and I lost the big girl by the boat (no net this always happens). Bluefish was 19''. Its on in VB!

Nice! I need to get back down there.

Thanks for the report.
The ledge around the tennis court is my favorite for speck. Next time I will be fishing Lynhaven

Maybe we will get all this sorry weather out of the way early and have a great weather fishing year...

Hey, don't tell me guys are going to abandon togs in favor of specks/blues now. I must admit, tog bites have been relatively slow. Sounds like Rudee and Lynnhaven are getting hot. Thanks for the report.

Togs are a tasty fish, pull good, but live in difficult to fish places- wrecks, hangups, pilings...swift currents, long paddles...stripers and specks live in inlets, along channels and flats- inside Rudee and Lynnhaven Inlets are some great fishing holes/channels to catch one of my favorite fish- big gator speckled trout- Mirrolures, XRaps, swim shads, poppers all work great and the by-catch can be as much or more fun- stripers and blues eat the same things- slow down the presentation with 1/4 oz flat head jigs tipped with 4 inch Gulp and you get big doormat flounder- without the trip to the CBBT...and next month the Black Durm and Cobia arrive in town- on the outside of Rudee around the ends of the rock jetties you can float a live spot/small blue and maybe get a 50-75# Cobia hooked up....never tried or thought about the difficulties of landing one of these from a kayak- I know first hand that it can be a real trama boating a green 50# Cobia in a 24' center console- they can tear up a lot of expensive gear-

Pinch, I'm just curious, what do you not like about Lynhaven? I haven't fished there in my kayak yet, but, since it's in the neighborhood, I plan to try it out when the weather cooperates.

[Pinch]

Its never consistent, and its a lot of area to cover if the fish are not in your first few holes.

Awesome... thanks for the report. Must be nice to catch 20 fish.

Kinda wish I lived down there... it's like a trip to the moon every time I go down, and when I get back I'm in need of life support.

Not sure how accurate or valuable this is, but here is a link to an aerial view of Lynnhaven that shows "fishy" spots and a little "how to" info:

Cool map... even if it's just a little accurate, it's much better than fishing blind

Agreed.
