We are on Cobb Island - Wicomico and the Potomac. We are new to the area and want to take the boat out fishing nearby this weekend. What is running and where? We could also use advice about technique, gear and bait. Thanks

Come straight across the Wicomoco and look for the small groups of boats. Drift over the edge of the channel using blood worms on bottom rigs. If they're there, you'll hit on em. Good luck.

You should see the lighthouse, the outside is 95% complete and it looks great.

Dukeheart's Creek?? Is that what we all call Muddy Creek? LOL

Maybe if you took off a ton or two of those lures you could wade the boat over the flats on low tide.

How about thatboat house in the sand at the mouth of the creek? LOL, Nick built a boathouse there that now has one of the greatest sandy beaches in the 7th ,if you dont mind wading.

Just funnin, there. They dug that channel out many years ago but it just sanded back in over the flats , no way a channel will stay there.

If they dont soon dig out the channel in St. Patricks Creek it might end up the same way. Lots more traffic keeps it open, but its sanding in too.

Duponster, Gumby, Fancybelle and I grew up on "Muddy Creek". We probably know each other. I remember when they dredged the whole creek. Jesse Gas would come down and catch a dozen or so soft crabs every week.

Back when we had winters, we skated on that thing. Used to catch plenty of perch too.

Kom, if you go out to the red bouy between the island and the point, you'll do fine. Heck, you'll do ok off your pier. I rode by the Port of Indecision last week.

I remember someone driving a Pinto out on the creek when it was frozen.

Yeah, Muddy Creek. That's what my wife calls it too. I'm a refugee from the 1st District so bear with me.

I'm considering putting a push pole platform on the boat and pretending I'm on the flats down in the Keys. That seems like the best way to get out on a low tide. Before you even suggest it, my boat has a manual tilt and I don't know anybody named Manuel.
