Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Mid-March Saltwater?

The fish you'll hit will vary pretty wildly within your range. My knowledge of monster striper timing down here isn't great, but I think be big ones should still be in the OBX/VA area then. Mid-April is the start to "trophy season" in the Chesapeake. Not sure mid-March will be beach weather much further north than SC though... The fishing is tougher when it's colder, but Charleston through Savannah always has at least some redfish action year round. It should be picking up by mid-March. You should be able to throw some speckled trout into the mix too. I'm not sure if you'll see many cobia by then, but it's possible. The whole stretch from OBX to Savannah should probably have some good bluefish action too.

I'm guessing you want to stick to inshore fly fishing, but if you want to get offshore, mid-March is around when the yellowfin tuna bite really starts hard off OBX, and you may even possibly catch the end of the Bluefin Tuna bite.

The lady has a short break from med school in mid-March and wants to go to the beach. I figure it is a good time to get some time on the saltwater. I haven't done a whole lot of saltwater fly fishing, and non this early in the year. 

Searching the forum was pretty fruitless, so anyone have any suggestions on where we might go that I could find some fish? I think we're looking at no more than an 8 hour drive - somewhere between Cape May and Savannah.
