trolling bite starting
 

Saturday - After a slow LTJ bite (some dinks, a couple low 20"ers, and one ~30") we moved to trolling and hooked up with not a lot of time with lines in the water.

Water temps were 39-41 degrees BTW.

Nice fish!

Love the twin Suzuki 350's.

I'm assuming they're twins and there's not a third one that can't be seen in the picture? :confused::eek:

That is Bill Judge's 36 Chesapeake with twin 350 Zukes. Doesnt need triples. It does around 52mph with twins.

52 in a 36' boat!!!!! :eek::eek:

The trolling bite hasn't started for us yet:mad:

We were out yesterday morning scraping ice off the boat (Capt John's Boat) at 7am. We dropped 6 boat rods off the back because the "marks" we saw were 50 ft down:eek:
No bait on the screen, but we did see about 20 gannets flying today:)

Close to 10am; with the sun higher in the sky, we put out one board and had 4 lines off board and two deep lines.

No jellies yet:D

Trolled until about noon without even a knockdown.

Capt John did cook us lunch onboard, so that was great:):)

Unfortunately, his mate from last year had to take a "real" job, so if you or anyone you know is looking for a position, let Capt John know.

HMMM...... currently unemployed?

Splashed my boat on Saturday afternoon. Went for a ride to make sure everything was working and check to see if we could see any activity.

Didn't mark anything north of the bridge on the eastern side.

We marked a lot of fish near Matapeake in 80' of water. They were all holding at about 60'. Water temp was a balmy 43°. A few warm days should help bring the bite on.

Well; it finally happened for us. We took Bruce's boat (Hook Em) out for a shakedown cruise and picked up a nice fat 43 inch pig:D

Headed to a meeting tonight, so no time for the pic. I have to get it off my phone and onto the "Puter"
I'll post the photo later:)

Oh Heck; I can be a bit late for a meeting:D
First fish of the season for me.
Thanks Bruce:)

p.s.
We also saw the Coast Guard training vessel "Eagle".
And, I always love seeing the wake of a fishing boat headed home:D

And it appears to be above the bridges?
