More great fishing news! For a solid week now, the big fish have been ganged up and fishing has been as good as it can get. Yesterday with long-time client Phil Wagner and his world-famous Monday fishing gang we had some kind of crazy scene. We had just put out the 15th rod when WHAM! I’m pretty sure ten rods ended up going off. One of the deck rods had a doubleheader with two 40-inch plus fish, the biggest being 47 inches. According to the guys at the University of Maryland there are still a few fish up the river spawning. We may see these big fish all the way through the month of May!

One of four 42-46-inch fish we caught Friday!

One of Art's crew with another jumbo. I'm pretty sure we had to let this one go...

Fishing has been great the past couple of days. On Monday the fish were up on the surface rolling and we had a big-time hook up with eight or ten lines down at once! We had a nice, fat 44-inch fish which weighed around 35 pounds. Today the same lure caught another lunker. We had six on at the same time today.

BTW, I need a couple extra people for a morning trip on Thursday if anyone is interested.

Justin Powers christened his new rod and reel with this 44-inch beauty!

This was actually the first fish Justin caught on that rod. A snagged bunker!
