10-10-08, East River/Mobjack Bay report

Back in February, I won a silent auction from the Falmouth Flats Fly Fishing Club event to fish with Capt. Tony Harding. I have fished with Tony before and Friday was the day to try it again. But you see, every time I go out with Tony, the east winds decide to blow. Friday was no exception.

When we met at Queens Creek Outfitters, Tony looked at me and said, "well, nothing new,...the wind is blowing out of the east". So off we went. Pete Maxwell joined us also....we were on the water by 1 PM.

Our target species were puppy drum and speckled trout. We did not want to target stripers.

Pete was fly fishing and I was using one of my level wind set ups. We started fishing at dead low tide and worked some lee areas to help Pete cast the fly. He nailed a little speck and  while he was bringing it in, I got a nice hit from a puppy drum...nice double!

Pete got a couple more specks and I got a couple more puppies (using Gulp! on a jig head) and then I landed this little guy

After I got him, I landed a teeny speckeld trout to complete my Mobjack Slam!

We then worked the shore line on a nice drift and I landed two real nice puppies. Here is one of them....

The other one was a ten spotter....nice!

While the fishing was not red hot, we made the best of it and had a good time. It's a long way from Ashburn to the East River but it is a beautiful part of the state!

Pete ended with 3-4 specks and 2-3 puppies. I managed to catch the flounder as well as 2 specks and 5-6 puppies.

Can't wait to do it again.
