Fair Day

We had a fair day today. It was pretty rough out there but we scratched out a few. Hoping for improvement tomorrow!

Improvement

More good news today. The boats that went out did really well so hopefully the fish are getting their act together.

Also, saw a good talk today at the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory by Eric Schwaab, a NOAA big wig and Baltimore native, about threatened fisheries.

Hope!

Ah, there is hope yet… Sounds like there is a slug of big fish on the way down. They were caught between Bloody Point and the Bay Bridge the last couple of days. Hopefully they will be within range by the weekend…

Slow Weekend

Ugh! Tough weekend of fishing. We managed to have a couple of good trips, but it was a tough weekend overall. We may have won the Frederick, MD division of the MSSA tournament, however. Kind of stumbled into that unknowingly. Anyway, it looks like the big fish have left, but it was so sudden that I have a hard time getting my head around it. Perhaps they went into the shallow water? Maybe they took the weekend off? I’m not sure. Things started off so great, but went into the toilet over the weekend. Eh, we’ll see what happens this week but I think everyone is looking forward to May 16th when we can keep 18-inch fish (and I’ll be a year older, btw). There are tons of them around. We are all seeing them on our depth finders so we have high hopes!

Good day on the bay. For us.

We had another good day, but my friend Jay got a 9/0 trailer hook in his finger. He must have been a hockey player in a former life. He stayed out and caught 4 more fish and hung out for a while and had a few beers before heading to the ER!

Exceptionally Windy Day!

I told you never to listen to the weather man!! He told us 15-20, gusts to 30. Not great, but certainly nothing like the 30-38-knot sustained winds with 42-knot gusts we ended up with for more than an hour. Somehow we scratched and clawed our way to a decent day, however. This is a pic of one of the other boats getting pummeled at the height of the gale!

LAST MINUTE OPENING FOR SATURDAY MORNING!!

The fishing has been great and I had a last-minute cancellation for Saturday morning so if you want to go fishing this weekend give me a shout. It’s a rare opportunity to book a prime date at the height of the trophy season!

A little soggy out there today…but the fish didn’t care; they were already wet! NEVER listen to the weather man!!!

Another great day!!!

Not sure how long this will hold up, but I’m really enjoying it!

Fishing is Great!
