From my friends at the Great Bridge Battlefield & Waterways History Foundation in Chesapeake, VA. “Lefty Kreh will be joining us this October 8th for our 7th Annual Waterways Heritage Festival October 8th and 9th. This is a free to the public family event.” Sounds like a great event, I would be there if I wasn’t fishing!

Specks on the Increase
24 07 2016Tangier Sound speckled trout catches have improved of late. We enjoyed a couple of good days recently while casting D.O.A. CAL Shads to stump-infested waters near the many marsh islands in this area. Rigged on a 3/8 ounce jig head the shad tail exhibits a remarkably lifelike swimming action that entices both specks and rockfish. Be careful while cruising the shallows near the islands as the centuries old stumps love to gobble-up bright, shiny lower units. Slow go is a must. I look for speck catches to steadily increase, with the peak sometime in late September.

Happy Father’s Day
19 06 2016Happy Father’s Day Dad! Thanks for waking early many a Saturday to take this kid fishing, even after working a sixty hour week down in the city. Photos taken this spring at the Susquehanna Flats. He really was proud of that big cat!

Walk On for One – Cambridge
5 06 2016Still need one angler to fish with a fly guy on June 20 out of Cambridge. Full day (8 hour) trip. Probably 7:00-3:00 but that is negotiable. It will just be the two of you so plenty of room. Cost is $275 each and includes license, tackle (Sage fly rods – try my new 6 wt. Salt) G. Loomis spinning rods, ice and cold drinks. Will probably be all rockfish but outside chance at some blues or specks. Give me a call at 443-783-3271 or email kjosenhans@aol.com.

The Fat Lady has Sung
15 05 2016The game is over, for this season’s southern Chesapeake adventure, at least. While we certainly enjoyed our share of exciting moments chasing bull reds and trophy stripers on the lower bay flats, the weather was not our friend. Cool temperatures, dirty water and more east wind than you’d see during a tropical storm, all made for difficult sight-fishing conditions. ‘Boom or Bust’ is how I’d best describe the action. Still, when after what seems like a thousand casts you finally hook that behemoth drum, and she begins peeling 30# braid from the reel at an alarming clip, the wait is long forgotten. Or, as the boat is surrounded by 40-plus inch stripers who continue to ignore your near perfect presentations, when finally a monster inhales your offering and the battle is on, the wait is long forgotten. As one client aptly described it, after experiencing a mild case of buck fever, “this is not fishing, but trophy big game hunting!” Thanks to all my clients for your patience and perseverance, both those who succeeded and those who did not. This fishery will test the mettle of the most ardent angler. Therein lies the drug.

Flats Post Season
1 05 2016My Susquehanna flats season is over and I’m writing this from the Virginia eastern shore. Red drum and post spawn stripers are my next quarry. I’ll post some additional photos as I get time but here is a taste from this season’s flats action.
