Ok, first post. I've been lurking these forums for a while, but after getting basically skunked all weekend, I'm going to get proactive.
My family has a house in Sea Isle on the Island, and we've got a NauticStar 17' that we fish the bay with when we have a time. We are very casual anglers and frankly...we suck...never really locked into some good fish in West Bay.
This weekend we headed out to Caranchua Saturday morning in beautiful water conditions. On the way we stopped at Snake Island and fished it up and down with no luck. So we moved on to Caranchua with plans of drifting over the top of it a few times.
I don't think we ever got on top of it though (or at least that's my suspicion). The water depth never dropped below four feet, and according to the maps I was looking at it should have been shallower than that. We fished live shrimp all over the water column and caught a perch and a croaker in 2 hours. I'm guessing that we passed it up running in, and with an incoming tide, drifted further away from it as time went on.
So, how do you guy locate Caranchua? And how do you fish it? Certainly not interested in secrets or anything like that, but just some basic pointers would be great.
Thank you very much in advance.
Take care,
Phillip
