Default Re: Elizabeth River Microfishing

I fished for killies (Mummichogs) when I was a kid out of a brackish creek that had carp in it. The carp had escaped a small private pond nearby during a storm flood. I eventually caught a pretty big one there too. My mom sent it to the Daily Register fishing report (long since defunct). It made the report along with news from Sea Pigeon deckhand Danny Seich that they were catching flounders. (yeah, I'm kinda old)
The killies are tough as nails and can handle pure fresh water as well as pollution. I always wished I could time travel and see these built up areas in pre-colonial times. Had to be paradise. I guess that's why so many people came here and ruined it.
