4-6-2012 Not Much to Report
We headed out about 10:30 to get in a little time on the water. Left the marina, felt the wind and saw the whitecaps in the creek, and decided to wait it out a while. Headed up the creek for a bit and played with the ultralight gear. It was worth a small White Perch and one nice Yellow Perch. Caught them both on a chrome Super Duper.:cool:
Went back towards the bay and it looked a little better out so we ran to the channel where we ended up in some really sloppy water again. The waves were so big that apparently they were hiding the whitecaps from sight when we were still leaving the creek. Got beat up for about an hour and called it quits. The water had a very slight mocha color to it. The creeks were actually really clear. Not sure where the color change came from.....it wasn't much, just enough to be noticed. Saw no one else out there today....no surprise I guess. Everyone that dared to go out was probably well south of the bridge while we were still a couple of miles north of it. Saw a fair amount of bait (not as much as previous trips this year) and maybe a few fish on the Lowrance. Nothing very exciting though. Anyone else go out today? I saw a few boats trailering down college parkway towards Sandy Point this morning. |
Mike's boat? Was it water in the tank?

Looks like it was all distributer problems...Points and rotor...Replaced the cap as well....
Powers just fine now, except right at 1K RPM's...Think the carburator may have been gunked up, damaged, etc...from the rough running of the distributer... Takes a week to get it rebuilt...That is not going to happen any time soon...The issue at 1K comes and goes...Today it was almost non existent... So next time I have to travel out of town for work, guess I will get it done... Have to agree with Scott water was a lot dirtier that it has been, small debris in the water...At least we know the White Perch are up in the creeks now...Water temps seem to have stabalized over the last week in the upper bay and this week does not look like its going to change much... Forecast windy for the next 2 to 3 days... :( Guess I will have to wait to until later in the week to try again.... I am starting to get excited, salinity levels were above 9 last time I checked, temps are just getting to that perfect 55 to 62ish degrees...I think we are going to have a lot more Blues, Hardheads, and Stripers north of the bridge this year.... Will be a big change from catfish in the shipping channel for sure... |
Mike; I'm glad she's running better. Reports have been much better the last couple of days. I hope to be out with John later next week.

Thanks for the post Kate and I saw those 30 knot winds on the WX sites on Saturday, and s--t canned it. I really wanted to go out and play with my new HDS-10, but that will have to wait.
