Few people have ever seen a 20-pound taug and even fewer people know where to catch them. After reading this article, you’ll have the hardest part of the equation figured out.

The taugs are big, old, TAUG and have been there for over 50 years. ” - Captain Neal Taylor | Seaduction Charters dives down and hides within the structure, so a solid braid and a rod with a firm, fast action is required. Should you lose the battle with the hooked fish taking cover, give the fish some slack line and often they’ll swim out of the hole for you. When it comes to leaders, most experts agree that fluorocarbon is the way to go because of the water clarity you’ll be fishing. A single hook rig on 50/60 pound fluoro is the preferred method as double hook rigs just result in losing twice the bait. You’ll want to have about 3’ of leader, with a dropper loop for the hook and a surgeon’s loop on the end for your smooth 12-ounce sinker. If you’re not losing sink- ers, you’re not getting to the right places. So what’s the secret bait? The truth is, taug love crustations. Find some fresh clam or squid and you’ll find the taugs. But to really gain the interest of the big- ger taugs, you should use cut-crabs or sand fleas. Sand fleas (or mole crabs) are found on any beach all summer long. Just visit the water’s edge of any surf line at low tide and dig in the wet sand. They don’t have claws and they’re the perfect size for your hook. Once you’ve found the wreck, the challenge then focuses to find- ing the bigger fish. The most experienced taug experts will swear that fish of a certain size congregate on specific portions of the wreck. One piece might be infested with small taugs, while an- other chunk will be covered in monsters. This theory has been observed and witnessed by reef divers for many years confirming what old-salts have often debated. On a recent trip with Neal Taylor, Justin Wilson, Jamal Esfahani, and 9-year-old Jordan Nester, Jordan landed a giant 21lb., 6oz. taug that sent him to the record books for the Youth Anglers Small Fry world record. Just about every taug we caught was over 12 pounds and all anglers received Virginia Citations for our catches. While some think this is luck, the truth is, the giants are here. Call Neal Taylor today and catch one for yourself. 12 FISH COASTAL VIRGINIA WWW.FISHCOASTALVIRGINIA.COM 13 “It’s such a pleasure to fish Virginia Beach.

  • Circumnavigating the Delmarva Peninsula
    Circumnavigating The DelMarVa Peninsula By Matthew B. Jenkins s/v Moondance June 2002 Chesapeake Bay Lighthouse Project http://cblights.com Circumnavigating the Delmarva Peninsula By Matthew Jenkins, June 2002 http://cblights.com The Delmarva Peninsula forms the eastern side of the Chesapeake Bay, separating it from the Atlantic Ocean. As it’s name implies, it covers three states – Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. In June 2002 my wife, Gail, and I started from Deale, MD, about 15 miles south of Annapolis, and circumnavigated the Delmarva in our 28 foot sloop Moondance. We took two weeks and covered 515 nautical miles in the process. This is something a fair number of Bay sailors think of doing. While preparing for this trip we encountered a certain amount of difficulty finding information for the C&D Canal, Delaware River, and Atlantic passage segments. We were more apprehensive about some things then we should have been, and ignorant of things it would have been nice to know about. The following article is an attempt to address these issues while also documenting our trip to a lesser extent. Why do it? An obvious question is why circumnavigate the Delmarva? We came up with three reasons for our trip. 1. This was the natural progression in our cruising education. We’ve owned Moondance since 1997 and have been fairly hard core in our cruising of the Bay. We’ve bought into the “cruising dream” to a certain extent and the circumnavigation offered a “next step” opportunity for honing our skills including some small degree of passage making, with shift sailing through a couple days and nights.
