Patapsco 11/9
 

Lines in about 3:30. As I was putting out lines, didn't get a chance to put the 2nd rod in holder before it was hit, and a double hook up at that. One 22 and one 24, both on chartreuse bucktails. 20 minutes later, a 23 hit a #Tony. Nothing after that, lines out about 5:30.

We had a very similar day. Left the pier at 2pm, headed north and had lines out 20 minutes later. By 2:30 a fish hit a heavy deep twister tail in 50' +/- of water but we missed it.

Ended up with one heavy 23 and 9/10 fish...lol.

Back at the pier about 6pm.

There was a TON of boats fishing just south of the Key Bridge yesterday.

Looks like a nice fish there...Might be a tad closer to 24" than 23 and 9/10th...

:)

I agree, it definitely looks 24! :D

Skunked Again
 

My boat is named the Miss Adventure (came with that name - I think I hafta' change it).

My brother and I woke up early (for a Saturday) around 0530, hooked up the boat, grabbed coffee and headed to the ramp. Arrived at the community boat ramp to find the lock was frozen and my key wouldn't work. :mad: So we headed to a nearby marina/ramp a few miles away...

Launching at low tide at a strange ramp threw me off my game I guess, 'cause I didn't notice as my brother parked the truck and I warmed up my 2-stroke, that my stern line fell overboard. :mad:

After a few minutes admiring the beautiful sunrise, said brother unties the bow line, I reverse away from the dock and we're ready to go fishing... :cool: When I shift forward the motor dies - we drift silently in the creek. :mad: Put it in neutral, starts right up - shift forward and engine dies again. :mad: Repeat. Starts again, shift again, dies again. I assume (correctly) that the prop is fowled and try to raise the motor as I yell to my bro' to look at the prop.

Motor won't even raise, because the rope around the prop (still tied to my stern cleat) is too tight... :mad: :mad: :mad: So, my brother cuts is from the cleat while I cuss. Then I raise the motor, untangle the prop, and we're finally on our way. Just a typical trip aboard the Miss Adventure it seems...

We had lines in the water in the Patapsco at 0730. I hear a few guys on the radio saying they've got 2 fish (or 3) early in the morning but nothing for while. I trolled Brewerton Channel from 0730 'till 1130. A mixture of green/white bucktails/parachutes behind 6 oz / 14 oz and 18 oz trolling weights. Then switched to spoons behind 6 oz weights... Nothing worked - no hits.

My second season of many skunks. We can take the kids and catch many perch in the summer. But I can't seem to catch a Rockfish if my life depended on it... :confused:
