I could not pass up a 60 degree January day, especially knowing snow is forcast for the next two. So off to the Hot Ditch and Cove I went. I put in the Elizabeth River about 1100 hrs and went straight to the Cove where I live baited with bull minnows for about 3 hours, water temp in the cove was about 41.5 deg. I then went closer to the Hot Ditch area with water temps of 54 deg. I caught 5 small Puppy Drum and 2 Trout 18-20 inches, all on minnows.
Had a great time and made it home by 1700 hrs. Here are some pictures from today.
