Sunstone Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Went out this afternoon looking for stripe bass without much love, Caught 1 small one but caught a speckle trout that we never catch this time of year this far north, mid Chesapeake bay. Hit the low tide and marked some fish but no bites but one. Trout for dinner tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About a 12 mile ride across but a different world over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mullet Dredge Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 That is cool. I had no idea that speckled trout made their way up well into the Chesapeake Bay until one of my tagged trout was recaptured in Poquoson, Va.....9 months after being tagged in the Cape Fear River, Southport NC.

whichwaysup Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Very cool. You guys have stripers and a smattering of trout, here in Wilmington NC, we have trout and a smattering of stripers. Seems like maybe we could trade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some good spec. trout fishing in the Poquoson River and on the “Poquoson Flats” in the bay off Poquoson (lots of grass). Memories from 15/20 years ago.

JEM Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Who would have thought that far north this late. Water had to be below 50. Nice trout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
