CBBT Trips

[JoshKaptur]

I usually get down about 10 or so times... all but one or two of those are the infamous suicide runs.

In years past we've always done our first trip on the saturday after thanksgiving... but we'll be staying local for longer this year.

My favorite times to fish are after the VA season closes... and usually well into February. Less crowded and IME, a more likely chance you'll find bigger fish on the jig.

I don't advertise it much on TF because I feel it's the best secret in town, but I am a HUGE fan of wise ramp if you have a crew. Can be hard to launch there solo with the current, but with a crew on the ropes it's no problem. Just be prepared to pick lettuce off your trailer afterwards. But is much closer and much more sheltered than Kipto.

I've never been but want to. Maybe I can hook up with others going down. I have a 21' and it's a long ride to get down there and find it too rough. That and going with someone who has been there usually cuts down on the learning curve. When is the best time, early December?

December thru February if you ask me. Big fish caught on eels regularly all through that time. Most of our LTJ big fish in the last two years have come later in the "season" (CBBT season, that is) if I remember correctly.

[skipperwork]

I'll be down there 2,3,4 times. Usually as many time as the misses and bank allows. Jigging the pillings and keeping some stools warm at Kelly's.

Decemebr 18, 19 , 20, 21 (Weather permitting)

Last year the best fishing was in January...

[JoshKaptur]

Paul you could afford more fishing if you didn't go to Kelly's! Might even help you in the "missus" department too! Fish, eat, sleep. I'll go to a bar when I can't fish!

I will be down there 12,13,14 of December, Then again for a few days before xmas, and a few days right before new years. Mostly eel,and chase birds, Its a nice change of pace from all the trolling I do in midbay

We do the same as most, stay at Kipto inn Launch at the Kipto State Park and eat and drink at Kellys. Usually have a hard time finding commited anglers that late in the season though.
