No, I've never been to Little Creek. Whereabouts is it?
My biggest shellcracker ( 1 lb.5 ozs. ) came from Meade and second ( 1 lb.4 ozs ) came from Western Branch. Some of the older guys tell me that the shellcracker fishing has really dropped off in the Suffolk lakes over the last 15 years. It must have really been good back then.
Since you have an interest in them, I sure would like to know what technique you use. Mine is to anchor short front and back and then put a bunch of rigs out on the bottom with worms on them. It's not very exciting but seems to work ok. The bad part is that most every fish swallows the hook, even the small ones that you would normally release.
