Did my daily walk around Solomons Island (mouth of the Pax.), this evening and as per usual checked out what the charter boys are pulling on their boats... The two boats that still had rigs exposed (where I could see them), were dragging the big stuff (9" shads on tandems and umbrellas). Both boats had their boards out. Last week they were all still working smaller lures for resident fish. Heard two 40ish" fish caught last Friday and I believe the winning fish in the "Monster Rockfish Tournament" Halloween weekend was 48 1/2". A buddy mates out of Schibel's (sp), and fishes the mouth of the Potomac and main bay in that area. He says they are still chumming resident fish and have not seen any big ocean run "sea lice" fish as of yet. Looks like they are starting to show up, but still in a transition phase. Will post first hand experience next time I get out. ....
