Not at the hot ditch but less than a mile from it.

This past Wednesday my friend Beth and I did some spec fishing in the all day rain. We caught a total of 28 fish with Beth catching the biggest at 25.25 inches. We were fishing in Chesapeake VA in the Elizabeth river area. All fish were released, most tagged before releasing. Two fish we caught...

I took my friend Ken Neill trout fishing yesterday near the Elizabeth River in Chesapeake VA. This is what he wrote about the trip. I spent New Year's Day fishing for speckled trout with Wes Blow. Fishing was pretty fantastic, especially for Wes. By the time I caught my third fish, Wes had...

Sorry not used to posting on boards that cover a broad area. I am in VA. I fish the lower Chesapeake Bay, the striper was caught at the High Rise part of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, the part closest to to Eastern Shore of VA. The specks caught in an area off the inner coastal water way...

My wife does not share the same passion for fishing that I have but does a stellar job of toleraing me. Amy will go fishing with me some. She had never caught a citaion fish, any species. I have been wanting her to catch a citation a long time. Today we went speck fishing. The bite has slowed...

Yes I am tagging and releasing the fish. The orange tag is what I am putting in. I only tag them over 20 inches, I tagged 43 one day.

Speckled trout fishing took off early for us this year where I fish for them, Elizabeth River/ Inner Coastal Waterweay area. It strarted for me end of November with several trips catching 50 plus fish up to 26 inches. I fish minnows under a bobber. George Poverome ended up right beside me one...

Thanks for the replies. I'll post an update when I get enough nerve to drill a bunch of holes in the boat.

I went there and looked first of the year when I was shopping for a boat. I don't really know alot of technical stuff about boats but when I asked someone there they knew less than I did. They do the minumium to the boats to make them look best as possible. I think if you know what you are...

I have a 2011 21SE with the standard 2 rold holders in the back on each side. I am looking to install 3-5 more on each side all the wat to the bow. I am doing this mainly for drifting eels in the lower bay and rod storage when anchored fishing off the back of the boat. No T-Top on my boat now.My...

It is cobia time in the lower Chesapeake Bay now. It started off slow but is picking up now. I anchor up and chum for them using live croakers and eels. Sharks have been a very big problem except for our last trip when only one was caught. Hard to believe since 2 previous trips it was hard to...

I made my way over to Drumland yesterday early evening about an hour before dark to fish the out going current and part of the incoming this morning early. I had 5 fish total for the night 2 blacks to 41.5 inches and 3 reds to 46 inches. Some of my fish were confused. I caught a 45 inch red drum...

I had Beth Synowiec (Tidalfish Calssic Rockfish) on board yesterday. The only time I could see that I had a wind window was from about midnight until the morning. I was out picking up crabs during the day sitting at a stop light looking at a flag on a flag pole that was moving the flag pole...

Left Hampton late Sunday afternoon solo heading into a pretty stiff breeze going to buoy 13 first. There were about 4 boats there, I looked for marks but did not see any so I headed over between 8 and 10 in about 20 feet of water. It was very rough. had clam and hard crabs out. I caught and...

First fishing post for new 21SE owner. Left out of Back River in Hampton VA yesterday late afternoon heading to the inlet between Fisherman and Smith Island at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. Slick, sunny and warm ride over to inlet calm when we got there, we could hardley see any breakers to...

I just bought a 21SE that did not come with a trailer and had to buy one. I have a friend that is an engineer at the shipyard that recomended a Loadmaster, he and another member of our fishing club bought Loadmaster trailers about 4 years ago. My trailer has torsion axels and all SS Kodiak...

I think it is a #8 anchor 8 or 9 pounds about 22 inches total length. I just dropped of the boat today having a couple things check so I can't go look at it now. The chain is the main link in the whole system (little pun).

I am new around here and just bought a 21SE but I can tell you from experience that the right heavy long chain is your friend when anchoring. I have 16 feet of chain on my anchor. I fished anchored alone alot on my old boat and it will hold in 15-20 NE 3-4 footers in the lower Chesapeake Bay...

Thanks for the help, hate the thought of drilling multiple holes in my boat. I will let you all know how it turns out.
