I have an opening for one or two anglers to chase trophy red drum and striped bass at Fisherman’s Island on Wednesday, April 29. This will be a shared trip with one additional angler. Please contact Kevin at kjosenhans@aol.com or 443-783-3271 for details. This looks to be the last opportunity this season to get in on this very special fishery – so don’t wait!!
Some great perch and crappie fishing is happening right now on both the Pocomoke and Nanticoke rivers. We’re catching good numbers of yellow perch and crappie on the Pocomoke near Snow Hill casting 1/16 ounce crappie jig ‘n minnow combinations. The occasional bass and pickerel will surprise you as well. Plump white perch are available dunking bottom-fished bloodworms on the Nanticoke. I have dates open during the next two weeks for the boat, or walk on’s. Email or call for additional info at kjosenhans@aol.com and 443-783-3271. I need a minimum of three anglers for a walk on. Maximum of four.
I have one spot open to share a trophy red drum trip with another angler on Thursday, April 30. We will be casting lures or flies to cruising red drum and stripers on the flats of Smith and Fisherman’s Island on Virginia’s lower eastern shore. Contact me for details at kjosenhans@aol.com or 443-783-3271.
Yesterday, I enjoyed a warm late winter day wetting a line on the Pocomoke River with three generations of family fishermen, plus one! The Pocomoke Slam – crappie, pickerel & yellow perch – was had by all. It sure was nice to see open water for a change!!
