I really don't know where I will fish yet.  It will depend on the weather that day and where Calvin and Ben want to go.The problem with the ER is 1) it is inconsistent, and 2) you can forget about a slam bc there are no flounder there and the reds have been small for the most part that I have seen this year.

Then, by all means, feel free join me at the Lynnhaven launch. I'll save you space #31.

The Jordan Bridge is the hot spot this year.

Not true, you know I work on that river and I've seen litterally hundreds of 2-4" baby Flounder in the river this year (unfortunately some dead with the algea bloom a couple of weeks ago) so there's got to be some big ones doing the 'dirty deed' in the river close by somewhere !!

I know that I've been quite all year.... but with weather permitting.....OV will have the winning slam this year! ...... I hope so anyways, I havent fished saltwater all year!

A famous large mouth bass fisherman?

Agree about LH, but it's really going to depend on the weather, which seems to change every time I look at it.  (which is a lot since I'm the tournament director)  Seems like we get slammed every year with this, but barring lightening or a tropical storm, we'll all be out there, hopefully catching fish of some type and size.

I'll be at the third island.

Plus it's sheltered water.   I know there's huge flounder out there. There's also Hungar's Creek . Chris's report says 7 & 8lb Specs last week. You can drift there from Cape Charles.

The problem with Hungars is the lack of a public launch site.  I'll probably be fishing somewhere behind the barrier islands if the wind lays down like I think it will.  You guys are welcome to tag along if you want.  We can split the tolls, gas, parking, etc.   

Baltimore Channel for me........
