The Onancock Chronicles the Eastern shore

Larry..I'm shocked you didn't mention the memorable time you fished with me on the CQ....That would go a long way toward your credibility with these naysayers.....

I haven't recovered from that yet.........................
:)

Almost afraid to make a post in this thread ....... with all the sharks circling waiting for something to hit the water. :rolleyes:

So, finally made it back to Pungoteague. News from a couple neighbors is real estate here is moving, and moving fast. Houses that sat for a year or two without moving have sold and prices are up 15 -20 %. The move from urban areas to the country is occurring here as well. The last waterfront home on my block just sold for asking price, 305k with 1500 a year for property tax. Inventory now is low and prices are going up.

I've been hearing/seeing the same thing. Cape Charles seems to be on fire with property values climbing. Not a year round town (Tourist Town) so it's spreading out from there to the rest of the Shore.

But how is the fishing and crabbing? Lol??

Crabbing has been good according to my neighbor. My pilings have a couple crabs on each one. I was out cast netting for peanuts today ......... finally am able to throw the damn thing. If the winds are down on friday like they are predicting I might venture out and give the "bull" redfish a shot.
This place is great ....... so laid back !

Wind backed off a little today ..... decided to stay tucked in behind the islands. Saw some bait being pushed in shallow on a grass flat. Made a couple drifts with live peanut bunker. One chopped by a small blue, another pulled off the hook, one hook up. Striped bass, 22" in less than 18" of water. Water temp 85 degrees ........ middle of the day. Season is closed till Oct 4th so back it went. The learning continues.

Wow, that’s awesome... I’m fishing 63-65 here...

That's what I thought I had a shot at .......

lot of fireworks to the west - something trying to cross the Bay.....

after 6 years I've come to the realization that the growing season down here is just too damn long...

I'm tired of weeding, pruning, deadheading, trimming, mulching, watering, etc. Time for them to take their winter nap.

Seriously?

very - it starts in March & doesn't end until November - that's too long - NY is like May to October

Did you warn the others about this huge issue with living down South :eek: ;)

very - it starts in March & doesn't end until November - that's too long - NY as like May to October

Any other latitude-related epiphanies that Captain Obvious would care to share such as *tides have less differential between MHW & MLW than higher latitudes, daylight hours are shorter in the summer and longer in the winter than higher latitudes, etc.???

C’mon guys...?...I mean seriously guys. Sorry Larry. Don’t let these guys bully ya!! Play nice guys.
