The Pocomoke is on fire. The water is in the mid to upper 40’s , and the crappies are biting. Sunday the kids and I had a great time and a nice mess of fish. The big difference this week was that we caught a lot more crappies with only 1/3 of the catch made up of yellows. The best tide was the first of the flood in the 4-8 foot depth range. Elsewhere the Nanticoke is producing good numbers of black perch on bloodworms fished on the bottom. A few reports of black perch in the Pocomoke are starting to surface. It won’t be long before we’ll be torn between perch and early flounder. What horrible decisions we must make!
