Set a date. It would be fun! I can't make the Annapolis event but I might be able to pull along-side you guys at the Beach. I would think the lower bay would make a great location. Got to be more Parkers down south than in Yankee country!
Willoughby Bay is a great anchorage with good fishing close by. Ramp is usually not too crowded and the boat traffic is nil towards the back part. There's a 7-11 walking distance from the ramp, too.
Another spot close-by would be the area between the HRBT and Ft. Monroe, just off the marina there. Or there has got to be some really good spots up in Lynnhaven/ Back Bay somewhere - just not as familiar with that area.
Be careful not to choose a spot with a lot of boat traffic. Swinging on anchor turns into a nightmare with incessant wakes roughing you up. Our boats would bang each other to death.
There are a couple of nice creeks with nice cover in the York/Poquoson River area. I like Chisman's Creek and Back Creek (NOT Back River). Goodwin's Island has a great sandbar that is fantastic for wading, clamming and floundering, and is located next to Back Creek (which has a ramp, although shallow). Back River (near Langley) has a good ramp at Messick Pt., but it used to be really shallow there too.
I'm open to all possibilities... When is the biggest variable for me.
