In case you don't know what a choggie is, the family name is Wrasse
and it's a close relative of the tautog (black fish).


Looks like some nice, healthy water. Wonder if there are any spots
left in the Chesapeake like that. I doubt it.


Got me - I haven't been to the Chesapeake in years.

I have it on shaky authority that you can slow troll the Chesapeake
and catch huge amounts of stripers, both in size and quantity, in
record time.

The Chesapeake can't be that bad.
