It's starting to feel a lot like summer out there, the canvas has been put away for the season. The migrating fish are long gone but still larger residents
are getting hooked on fly and light tackle. Working birds are becoming more and more common with breaking fish occasionally under them. View my
fishing reports for up to date reports of what is going on.
I am looking forward to guiding the Virginia waters at the mouth of the Bay this summer. Fish for red drum, sharks and tarpon in the shallow water
of the Virginia barrier islands. Cobia, amber jacks, and barricuda are in all available on the wrecks and
other off shore structure. Big fish are calling for flys. Contact me now for a trip to some incredible opportunity
in the coastal waters at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay.
I had the pleasure of fishing with Jeff and Taylor Turner in the summer of 2009. This father and son set out to FISH 50 TROPHY
WATERS IN 50 STATES IN 50 DAYS. This was to be a true epic father and son adventure. Read what they did and
view the video when they came to fish in Maryland waters with Captain Russ. This is a good example of our summer fishery in the mid bay.
