Last December, I caught up with my friend Gaylon Thompson at one of my light tackle seminars in Severna Park, Maryland. During the few minutes we had to talk, we wondered if we might be able to get in a fishing trip in early 2012. I was very excited when Rich Jenkins called me last week to say he and Gaylon were heading down to Virginia to fish in the ocean Monday, and I was invited. He also invited Jamie Clough. We’ve been hearing about the coastline bite for a while now from Wild Bill and other fishermen who follow the migration. Even though I’m turning up a few hard-to-catch but very big fish here in the Bay, we couldn’t resist giving it a go. Our first challenge was deciding whether to fish the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, or the ocean. We called, emailed, and Facebooked everyone we could think of seeking advice. Some of our friends came though, especially “Hillbilly Boater” Jack, and a couple of Jamie’s buddies. I also got some good info from some of Tattoo Charlie’s buds on Facebook. Read More!
