So I grew up in upstate NY lake fishing. For twenty years even though I live in DE my boat was kept in NY. I finally brought the boat down last year and started fishing the Upper Chesapeake and rivers for the first time. I never thought it would be this hard to simply catch any fish let alone a largemouth. Since last year I’ve been to the Sassafras nine times and I’ve caught one striped bass and a couple dinks. I’ve fished the Northeast and the flats 5-6 times and caught a few but not much to speak of. It feels like I’ve tried everything. Interestingly in 15 times I’ve been out I’ve seen a lot of boats but I’ve never seen someone else catch a fish either. Seems like no feast and all famine. So am I just really unlucky to pick awful days to fish or is tidal fishing really this tough?
