I was going to try mainly sheepshead and spade fish at CBBT (Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, VA). I arrived at the tackle and bait store on Northampton ST., VA Beach at 06:00AM. But fiddler crab (for sheepshead) were sold out already. So I bought frozen sand flee. I bought frozen clam, but I threw it away immediately because I found that frozen clam (I bought) was decomposed already when I opened the package.
So spade fish was out of the target species list for the day.
Dave (HokieDJ) tipped me before the trip that 1) I fish for flounder during the outgoing tide. 2) Use tandem rig: 5 " Gulp Swimming Mullet for teaser and a 2 OZ whit buck tail with a 4" white Gulp Swimming Mullet.
So I fished for flounder first during the outgoing tide. I caught two keeper flounder at 21.5" and 16.5". I release a 15" flounder.
After done with flounder fishing, I fished for sheepshead until the frozen sand flee ran out.
I caught a bunch of croaker and oyster toad fish on sand flee but no sheepshead.
Next time I will buy chowder clam a day before the trip at H mart or Lotte.
