First Spanish Mackerel Ever!

Type: Chesapeake
Region: Southern
Location: Thomas Point Shoal Light

My brother, Jason Czajkowski, and I, Eric Dickerson left the dock at Jones Creek at 6 am on 8/17/19 to pursue a bucket list fish - the Spanish mackerel. We headed south to Thomas Point Shoal Light and started trolling with number 1 and 2 planers with silver/green Clark�s spoons about 8:30am. Within minutes we were hooked up with bluefish trolling south and soon caught a limit of rockfish all within the first two hours, even with many throw backs. We didn�t get into the Spanish mackerel until the sun came out later that morning. The first ever Spanish mackerel I caught was a 23� citation fish !! I filled out the online citation form and waiting on the wall hanging citation!!

Eric received a FishMaryland certificate for this catch. Congratulations!
