The Honga River

I met Dave Wolf yesterday for a Sunday fishing trip to the Eastern Shore. We drove down through Cambridge and put his Twin-Vee in on the Honga River. I like this area. The geography reminds me of South Georgia or Florida with lots of pine trees and swampy marshland. After navigating through a maze of canals, we did a some exploring and running around to known fishing spots. We caught a few while bottom-fishing including some small flouder, then finally found breaking fish in the main part of the Bay upstream of the the Hooper's Island Lighthouse. I caught this nice bluefish casting a big Rattletrap into small breakers and letting it sink down to the bigger fish. It was about 24 inches. Definitely the hardest fighting fish I've ever caught of this size. -S
