Skates are EVERYWHERE....
Even way up in the Magothy. My neighbor texted me a video of a Skate splashing about in the water at Beachwood Park. I've never seen them so far upriver before.
And the Jellyfish are predicted to be THICK soon too. |
Very high salinity right now. this will bring the bluefish in also............Gary

Most likely they are really Cownose Rays.
Skate seems to be a popular nick name for them. Both look similar - true Skates are often thinner the Rays. I think this is when the winged devils mate - often see 2-3 chasing one. With the high salinity levels - likely they will be far up rivers. Heard the Severn is full of them. |
Phil and I ran into a mess of them a few years ago. We saw them from a distance and they looked like breaking fish, so we trolled into them.
When we realized what they were, I hit the spool releases on all the rods to get under them...and to our complete surprise, there was a school of rock feeding beneath them. A little tricky reeling them in, but we limited in about 30 minutes. |
