Report- 12/30 PLO
 

Bagged the OCMD trip due to fear of heavy seas due to yesterdays big blow and opted for a trip to just over the VA line from PLO. My crew ended up being my son, neighbor, and Don Richett. We trolled all day and only landed 2 fish, a 33" and 36". It was tough out there and I think we did better than most. Despite the cold air, we were warm and dry. The heat buddy heater sure did its job! Seas were pretty calm and we had one of the nicest sunrises I had ever seen.

Any day on the water is a good day. your crew had some action. I have had days when I prayed for a hit. Two nice fish. Keep the reports coming I can live vicariously

Greg; glad you found a few. At least you had a pretty day on the water. 5th (Marty)

I wanted to call and see how you were making out but decided not to bother you guys. Was hoping you'd get into some fish....next trip OC!

Paul OCMD is calling me hard!

I forgot to mention that I spoke with Capt Kyle of Doctors Orders and he is moving his boat to VA beach and he is looking for crews. He is a good guy and a good capt. Give him a call if you are looking for a VA beach charter! http://www.rocksolidcharters.com/

I'm heading down in the am with the family for New Years. I"ll call around to some friends down there and see what gives. Might get lucky and get out for a few hrs on a friends rig:).

"A" for effort Greg. You guys are real die hard fishermen. I worked!..........Gary

Nice to be out on the water...I am just sitting here watching my boat on a trailer for the next 2 and 1/2 months...

Keep the news coming, this might just be the hardest time of the year and its great to know someone, somewhere is still catching fish....

You guys are killing me. There are no fish in OC.......

OC is a terrible place.

The cops harass you.

The ramp is bad

They will vandalize your vehicle.

And all of the bars are shut down for the winter.

Nut, all those things are probably true in the summer. It is a great ramp in Dec and Jan.. Haha

Thanks for the invite Greg. I'm always ready to go fishing. We had high hopes after making the trek to PLO SP. We stayed in touch with some others working the area and considered ourselves pretty lucky to have at least one keeper in the box. Both of fish we caught were caught at the same time. Never were able to coax another bite. Toward the end of the day we heard a 50 1/2" fish had been caught in the same general area by 'Skirt Chaser'; I think I remember him saying it weighed around 53#. Congrats to him....Don

That sounds like a decent day to me, glad you guys got them. What was the water temp?

Water temps was 38 on the outgoing tide and warmed to just over 40 on the incoming.

Thanks for the company Don and letting me keep the fish. It will be served tonight when my parents and my brother and his family stop by.. Fresh striper for New Years!! :)

What you talking about man. They had a cabin and a heater!!! Wusses I say:p Thanks for the report guys.........................Mark

They did have it a little better than fishing on your boat:eek: but we catch fish on your boat:D............Gary

*cough cough* :rolleyes: HAHA, we do too just not 40"ers...

Greg and Don, Mark and I saw the same sunset, except from the goose blind on the Eastern Shore. Was certainly one of the most beautiful sunrises i've ever seen. Not many places would have been better to watch it then in a goose blind or on the water!

I just talked to your step daddy and he said you shoot like you fish. Could have had a limit:D:rolleyes:.............................Gary

Nice way to end 2009 - congrats on a good catch.
