{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: 2020 Blue Gill Tournament

Really? All month? Is the most fish for one day or the entire month?

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: report - Delaware shore

Andrew - thanks for this awesome report! I'm spending a month in Bethany beach in October, so even though that's a different season, I'm going to hope to experience something similar. I'll definitely hit up Captain Cook. But can I ask what weight rod you were using? I have a 5wt but I expect that is too light, right? Any advice would be welcome.

Thanks!

After getting a little stir crazy last month, my wife booked us a place on Broadkill Beach, just northwest of Cape Henlopen on Delaware bay. I wasn't super enthused about fly rod possibilities in the area, but brought gear anyway, just got back after a week. Couple of notes:

-First, I wish I had a kayak on this trip. not for the salt, but for the blackwater ponds in the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge. Our beach house was only about 10 mins from a couple of really nice looking ponds, but as it's a refuge, shore access was nonexistent beyond the boat launches and a small dock intended for disabled access. In the hour I fished there, though, I caught a couple decent Largemouth on a swimming frog. With a kayak or canoe or even SUP, you would have a ton of water to cover.

Second, I was able to line up a nighttime guide trip with Capt. Chris Cook (firstlightcharters.net). I meet up with him Thursday night at a boat launch on the back side of Rehoboth Bay (Massey's landing), and we went in to hit the moving tide in the Indian River Inlet. The current was absolutely ripping when we got there, Chris had to really work to get us in position to hit the seawall, but was able eventually to use a trolling motor to hold position. First fish was within 2 mins, an 18 inch schoolie striper, and within 30 mins of us arriving, the place was exploding with bluefish. Stopped counting after a dozen of those, and continued to mix in schoolies up to 20 inches. Later on, started getting some hickory shad mixed in. It was the fastest fishing I've had in a long time, definitely beat my expectations. If you're out there for a family vacation, the 3-hour night trip is a great way to get some fishing time in if you're not a surf rod guy.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Classified forum?

Is "Modern Dry Fly Code" related to BASIC?
