Good fishing over the weekend. Saturday’s trip was a little short of the limit with a big crew, but the fish were jumping on the boat Sunday! At one point, we had 8 on at the same time. Chaos!
There were more reports of good croaker catches over the weekend. We are supposed to try it this coming weekend so I’m hoping for good weather. Usually the hot weather means good croaker fishing.
Fishing has been good all week, mainly for 2-4 pound fish, with a few 10-15 pounders mixed in. I also heard of the first good croaker catch of the year. A captain I know caught about 100 last night.
Last week, we put an old superstition to the ultimate test. Many of you know I don’t buy into the bananas-on-the-boat-are-bad-luck school of thought. In the past I’ve had a smattering of bananas on the boat. In fact, I often bring them myself. Though I haven’t compiled any scientific data, I’ve never noticed any correlation between the presence of bananas and the lack of fish or some kind of injury to the crew or mechanical failure. That said, a crew recently showed up with more bananas (seen below) than I’ve ever seen in one place (seriously) outside a market. Well, also seen below are the results of that expedition. Now the cynic would argue that we would have caught far more and far larger fish had we been sans bananas, but for myself, I was pretty happy and took away from the experience that in no way are bananas on the boat bad luck!
Also, check us out fishing in the monsoons of last week.
That day offered proof of an old adage; the fish don’t care if it’s raining, they’re already wet!

Fishing has been great this week. We knocked out two limits today in no time, and not far at all from Solomons. I’m really impressed at the way it’s holding up this year. I’m thinking the cool weather has something to do with it.
The jet crew came back from Frederick this year. It’s lots of fun just to go to the airport to pick them up and watch them land and take off.
The 18-inch, two-fish season comes in Monday. I’m wondering if we will be able to catch our slot fish.
Make sure to check us out on Facebook. I’m going to work a lot harder at keeping up with that page.
Trophy season is rolling right along. Fishing has generally been great with a few exceptions. Check out the whopper that was in the 40-pound range! Sorry I don’t have more to say right now, but I have been working like a dog and I’m BEAT!
