Jellies and "unders" south of Solomons
 

Hey all,
Posted the same on TF. Fished a charter today out of Solomons, and went south. Did well, but I don't give away the pro's specifics on the where to and how to. But - some info from today:

1. We were getting jellies on the lures. We didn't last week.

2. We trolled up about 4 or 5 16-24 inch fish - which could mean the smaller fish are already moving in.

Cheers,

Bob

Is this considered early for jellyfish?

These are winter jellies not to be confused with the sea nettles that come later in the summer.............Gary

The winter jellies (affectionately referred to as "snot" :eek:), are actually late in coming this year. I had a little bit of seaweed to clean off of some of the lines, but the once every half hour "snot drills" so often needed during spring season were just not needed this spring.

Sorry guys - jellies were brown, so I guess that means winter jellies. My ignorance for not stating that.
cheers,
Bob

Thanks...never knew a difference.
No worries Bob....my ignorance for not knowing. Now I do. :)

Not sure if it is true - heard the fresh water run off is why the " snot " has not been bad this spring.

What ever the reason - nice when lures stay clean for 5-6 hours.

I have had a little bit of snot on my two deeper lines that run approx. 25 to 30 feet deep.

Everything else - knock on wood - has been clean. Been below Breezy all spring due to dirty water off Annapolis.
