Ended my trophy red drum season with a bang! George Lenard of Specialized Baits fame and Dave Gedra boated thirteen monster reds casting George’s Li’l Jimy on the flats of Virginia’s barrier islands. An unbelievable ending to a terrific drum season!

A few red drum pics from the past two weeks. Over half the reds were released at boat side as these big bulls give it their all during the fight. The red drum is my favorite gamefish by far.

Late notice Susquehanna Flats walk on!! Fishing has been great! One angler needed for a half day (4 hour) trip this Wednesday, 4/18 starting at 7:30am. Cost is $200.

Tie Fest 2018 has grown to a two day event to be held Feb. 24 & 25 at the Loews Annapolis Hotel. Be sure to stop by my booth and say hi. I’ll be set up with my good friend and fellow Tangier guide Capt. Chris Karwacki of Chesapeake on the Fly. Chris and I will also be giving a seminar together each day on Fishing Tangier Sound. Call, text or email me for additional info. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

It’s time to get your Susquehanna Flats trip in the books. I’m probably only fishing the flats two weeks this April so there are a limited number of dates available. Contact me soon so you won’t miss out. I hope to be back fishing Crisfield the last week of April before heading south to Fisherman’s Island for trophy stripers and red drum Kjosenhans@aol.com 443-783-3271
