I suppose you might find one in there now...but not like in the spring. Occasionally you still find a striper or maybe shad or herring that were left behind. Especially with all the rain...maybe what you hooked into was a cat. If you didn't catch it, how do you know what it was? Especially with the water being so muddy as it is...best time is in the spring, just after the shad start to run. If you have wheels and some time, drive 1.5 hours to the bay and look for stripers, blues, and reds...I'm betting you'll have a better time and you'll find more/bigger fish.
