I prefer blackfish myself, but who would know what I am talking about? LOL. I can't wait. I just hope the tog are in by then.
If everyone shows up...
You don't want to go crazy and fish the bay or Matapeake with all those boaters on the loose on opening day - Do you? Join us Saturday the 19th for our journey to Delaware's 3R's and Indian River Inlet!
Watch out stripers and blackfish (or TOG if you prefer)!

Delaware DNR Report for April 14th:
"OCEAN – While heavy winds, strong rains and high seas kept most of the boats in the marina, and made it nearly impossible for even the shore fishermen to get a bait in the water, the action should be on again by this weekend. Stripers were reported in both the surf and along the jetties at Indian River Inlet before the stormy weather moved through and should be back on a feed by the weekend, if not earlier. Tog fishing is also picking up for anglers soaking green crabs and frozen fleas in the jetty rocks along the north and south shores of the inlet. Flounder reports also have been good – especially for this early in the season – in the inlet, with fishermen scoring on legal fish around the entrance to the South Shore Marina, the Burtons Island Slough, the VFW hole and back in Masseys Ditch."
I'm ready to ROCK!

LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!
In the north corner we have SandCrab, a militant fisherman with a large surf cart. He is toting his 8 ft baitcaster armed with bucktails. His partner today will be Rockfish--a feisty beast with a striped mask.
In the south corner we have the Duke of Fluke, a sort of mysterious man around these parts--yet to be seen in action by the announcer. He no doubt has an arsenal of heavy artillery--probably some stiff baitcaster set ups designed to yank em right out of the rocks. His partner today will be the blackfish--also known as tog. He is adept at hiding in the rocks and then stealing the bait.
And they're off! In a strange turn of events they have turned against their partners. Sandcrab just nailed his 34" partner--Rockfish with a 1 ounce bucktail tipped with a 4" white worm and a 1/4 ounce trailer. Ouch. That hurt. Duke of Fluke had to work slowly and methodically to coax tog out of the rocks. Just as tog trusted DoF enough to try the green crab, DoF tossed him out of the water and into a 5 gallon pail filled with ice. Brutal.
In an even stranger twist of events, DoF is burning his partner to death. Now he is eating him. I've never seen such pleasure on a man's face.
DoF and Sandcrab are finally meeting in the middle of the jetty. What's that? They are shaking hands. They are going home.

Husky - You should be an announcer!
Hope you didn't ruin my bucktail setup taking it out of Rockfish!

Sandcrab...Little Falls is about 35 minutes from my house which is next to Johns Hopkins University. I'd be delighted to have you fish with me. Little Falls is sort of secluded compared with the rest of the trout streams in the area. Not a lot of traffic there. If you like ultralight you have to wade the Daniels area of the Patapsco River for smallmouth with me. I've been fishing it for over 40 yrs. and know some real sweet spots. I usually strat fishing it around mid June. Nothing fancy, just a pair of shorts and an old pair of tennis shoes. Looking forward to it.

I can always use my spare spool with 4 lb test line for smallies.
New house in Bowie. After I get settled in, I should be back into the fishing groove.
