Better Luck?
 

Did anyone have better luck on the 2nd weekend? We went out Saturday and didn't mark nearly the amount of fish we did opening weekend. Ended up catching 3 shorts all on chartreuse this week. Smallest being 22" and biggest was 31". Sounded like a lot of people still got skunked in our area.

Wow a fishing report! Thought the crickets has taken over. Going to try tomorrow if winds lay down

Good Luck!!

I'll be out tomorrow:D

Picked up a 39 1/2 on saturday south of BP on a chartreuse tandem

The water temp jumped up pretty good over the past few days.......shouldn't be much longer before everyone has a decent report to post.

Trolled all day from anchorage to below radar towers. Only had one knock down all day that didn’t come tite. Had 51.5 water First thins am and had up to 55.5 when finished for the day. Everyone I spoke with had nothing when we headed for the barn. Guess on the positive side, it can’t get any worse?

I sucked again today. Only my second trip but still can't get the skunk off the boat. Ran all the way down to the Gas Docks/Power Plant and found clean water past Ches. Beach, but no fish. Not much bait and can't say I ever marked a fish to get frustrated about not catching:mad:
I ran my boat early morning hitting both deep and shallow water. Second half of the morning I put Mark (Mlag) at the wheel to see if he could find us some fish.

We trolled 6 hours without a sniff:eek:

No jellies; can't blame it on them:D

Saw Greg Buckner (Miss Susie ll) catch two fish in our area, but he ran 42 rods:D

Saw one other charter catch a fish, and that's it. Saw three fish caught in 6 hrs of trolling.

Heard the bite was much better north of us (of course) with some boats doing very well, and several boats picking up one or two.

It's tough for sure:eek:

Very close to giving all my gear away. Better yet if anyone wants to come hang out I'll be having a bonfire this weekend and we can roast marshmallows and Hotdogs over all of it. I did get word the few fish that were out there started to bite in the area I fished around 4. Figures because i reeled up at 3 🙄Marty it was a pleasure as always working with you today.

Wish I could have been more helpful. I sincerely thought I was going to get my three fish today; water Temps as high as 58*; bright sunshine (boards should have been hot), great water quality, no jellies, and a seasoned crew.
Three boats working the narrowest section of the bay (Taylors island to Gas Docks/Power Plant) and none of us had a fish:mad:
That's amazing:eek:

Go figure. I heard that area was on fire this morning. I am skeptical now after reading this. Marty is your number still the same? I tried texting you but it didn't work.

Shore Thing
sent you a Private message with cell number

However, it stayed the same:D

Finally found a concentration of fish:D
With the help of some other CBA's we kept the fish surrounded and picked up three fish and had another knockdown. Two were keepers (38,40) and one throwback (30).

I'm certainly not posting to brag:mad: This is the first trip out of three that I caught:eek: Just wanted to emphasize how important it is to "work" with other boats to be successful this year.

The fish are scarce, any advantage helps. Thanks to Mlag and Lolo who were with us yesterday; and a "shout out" to Jason who narrowed our search area down with a trip the previous evening:)

Glad to hear you found some fish Marty!

I went out on Saturday and picked up two fish and lost two more. The biggest was 42". That was probably my last trophy season trip since I leave for FL on Saturday. When i get back it will be time for red tubes!!!(FYI) i put one out on Saturday and caught our 2nd fish on it. I am going to give Jeff my spot that I have caught all my fish at this season. He already has the lucky lure. Hopefully the luck will continue with him. FYI, every fish we caught this year was on chartreuse.

Listening to all the reports being told so far, I believe the No Ragrets had a very good trophy season. With that said, I am pretty excited about the thought of catching a limit with 6 boat rods and no planner boards!

I fished two days last week. Wednesday and Friday. Wednesday we did ok. On the day I caught 4 fish and broke off another keeper. One fish was a throw back.. I fished shallow water 28'-35' and trolled faster at 3.3knots, 4mph.

Friday I caught one undersized fish in the same area I fished Wednesday and trolled north. The further north I got, the less bait there was. A friend who mates on a boat out Kentmore said 13 fish were caught total out of around 20 boats. They had one and got it early just after setting lines. Then they had nothing the rest of the trip

I was told the bite picked up over the weekend with the most consistent bite in the mid bay. I did not fish over the weekend due to having to run a 5k with my 5th grader (first time I ran since the last event now I am sore... I used to run 5k in under 15 minutes 20 years ago)

Heard of a bite farther south than Deale, so we took Lou's boat today and went out of Breezy Point. We picked up two keeper (36,44) fish. Looks like it's an early bite. We packed it in around noon.
Also, clean water south of Breezy:D

Fished on my friend Dan's 21 Pro Line yesterday up around Love Point area. Lines in at 8:30 and trolled south with the tide. Trolled west to mouth of the Magothy without a bite. Turned east towards Love Point and picked up a 25" fish half way back. Turned north at the LP bouy and after an hour a boat rod got crushed and we landed a nice 40" fish. Circled back and couldn't get bit again. Called it quits after 7 hours. As always, a nice day on the water with a good friend.

We ran south of SPSP until I found cleaner water and started trolling. We picked up a 43"er and missed another. We decided to go jig for entertainment and my party caught some fish to 26" despite jigging with a rod in one hand and coronas in the other.
