Despite a constant and relentless breeze, speckled trout catches are ahead of last season’s record pace. It looks to be another fantastic season for this spotted member of the drum family. While I have yet to have any puppy drum come aboard my boat, I have heard of a few starting to be caught in Maryland’s portion of the Chesapeake Bay. We have had the best success casting Bass Assassin 4-inch Sea Shads rigged to a 1/4 or 3/8 ounce Specialized Baits Jig head, something brand new in an already excellent line of speciality lures from creator George Lenard. George’s old standby, the Li’l Jimy, is as effective as ever when trying to coax a fat speck out of the grass or stump-field.

Josenhans Fly Fishing – Bull Red
27 05 2013Just want to give kudos to Skip Powers for his personal best 52″ red drum boated with me this spring near Fisherman’s Island, VA. Skip caught the bull red on a Rapala X Rap Jointed Shad.

Josenhans Fly Fishing – Flats to Flats
19 05 2013If you haven’t noticed by my lack of fishing reports this is a very busy time of the year for me. I fished three weeks on the Susquehanna Flats, took a couple days off to reboot, and then it was off to the flats of Fisherman’s Island. From trophy stripers (or lack thereof) to a saltier environ in search of bull red drum in excess of 40 pounds. While the weather played havoc with the red drum quest, we did manage to bag a few. Enjoy a few final photos of the past months fishing trips.

Josenhans Fly Fishing ~ Red Drum Photos
3 05 2013As promised, here are a few pics from a recent drum excursion to Fisherman’s Island, Virginia. I had hoped to have more to show you, but this persistent east wind has made life difficult. I will be fishing a little closer to home tomorrow in the Honga River for stripers and specks. Hope to make it back to Fisherman’s early next week. Black drum was a nice surprise!

Josenhans Fly Fishing – Monster Reds!!
30 04 2013Flash!! – Big red drum today at Fisherman’s Island. Landed three reds 43″-46″ on half a hard crab. Two black drum around 40 pounds as a bonus. If I wasn’t 100 miles from my computer I’d include some photos, but I guess you’ll have to wait for them. Or maybe I’ll go buy an iPad so I can download (or is it upload) the pics. More to follow…
