Plum Island... Help!

[Brian L]

Right on, Folks! Thanks for all the help. If y'all ever make it down to SoCo, I'd be glad to return the favor.

It will be next Thursday, and I'm glad to hear that the early morning on Friday will be a good time to fish, as I'm thinking that's going to be my best opportunity. Kayaking, beach, and dinner the night before with some friends.

Everyone's mentioning the greenheads, it must really be a problem... Man eating flies? Are they bad at night, too?

The ability to fish right in front of Blue would be great and it sounds as if that's not only possible, but that it's a great place to fish. A friend or two will be joining me. I'm feeling better and better about this trip! I'm thinking the best fit for me is going to be eeling in the early AM.

Why don't those bugs make it to the NH coast which is right up the street from Plum?

Because they live and breed in the marsh.
They are almost gone and no they don't come out at night or in the rain.

I once had 2 of them follow me into my car and attack me the entire ride off of Plum Island....seriously........They are voracious and never give up, but they are just about done for the season.

I would also stay off the jetty, korkers or not that place is a death trap. Boulders the size of a VW bug, covered in slime, with gaps between them that could swallow a man whole.
