jimithing	posted 11-14-2002 03:02 PM ET (US)         Going out with a buddy on his outrage next weekend. Anyone here can give me a fishing report on how its been and where? What has worked best...chumming, trolling or jigging. Just dont want to look like I have no idea what I'm doing......Thanks all.

We use umbrella rigs with 6 inch white sassy shad lures and 2 bucktails. Looking back, I should have been further south on the Bay. See http://www.dnr.state.md.us/fisheries/fishingreport/chesapeake.html for Bay fishing reports. Good luck!

Go to Tidalfish.com to find the latest fishing reports in that area. good luck....joe
