RE: Great to see Fishermen!
Rockfish1 - Where do you fish in the Chesapeake? My in-law's house was near Deal Island. Their dock was right at the mouth of the Naticoke and Wicomico Rivers on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Off the dock, we would catch stripers, croakers, weakfish, speckled trout, red and black drum, spot, bluefish, white perch, catfish, eels and the occasional flounder. On occasion, we will see needlefish and spadefish around the dock. From my boat, I would fish between the Honga River and Crisfield. My favorite areas to fish are around Bloodsworth, South Marsh and Tangier Islands for stipers, drum and trout.
Fishing in the Florida Keys is great. You can fish inshore or offshore and the variety of fish is awesome. The back country is a whole world of fishing onto itself with tarpon, snook, redfish, trout, grouper, snapper, sharks, etc....
