Do you love big bluegill?

Great tasting saltwater fish that can be caught by the dozens during mid May thru September. The bait of choice for these fish include, shrimp, bloodworm, squid, mussles, cut bait, and grass shrimp.

Andre, It wasn't the mussels we were eating it was clams. Quite taste. We did fish the Atlantic side at Seaford, Delaware. I caught a oyster cracker, while trying to get my hook back it bit me. Use pliers on them after that.

Caught them in the Chesapeak Bay west of Exmore Va. We were using peeler crabs. The mussels and the squid, Auntie showed me how to eat them with crackers. Strange fish yall have out there!!!
