Default May 21 Worlds End Fishing Report

Well the world didn't end on Saturday but the Trophy season sure seemed too!

We launched out of Solomon's at 5:45am expecting calm seas and a blow of 5K. What we had was 2' chop with a few white caps blowing 15k. Sloppy but still doable in my 19' Twin Vee.

Ran down to Hoopers Light area hoping to repeat last Sunday's results. Slowed down looking for marks and very few showing up. There was three charters in the area working with all of the passengers inside the cabin. So it looked like slow fishing and we decided to head further south. We kept stopping and looking untill we ended up at Point Lookout where everyone else that was fishing in the lower bay was it seemed.

I was marking fish pretty good so we decided to put out the 11 rod spread.
6 planer lines (3 tandems 2 -4oz 6" shad / 2oz 4 " shad, 3 chutes 2 - 2 oz 9" shad and 1 4oz 4" shad) 4 Boat rods (2 umbrellas 1 12" with tandem 9" & 6" shad, 1 6" with 6" shad. 2 surgical hoses red, white) 1 WWB 2oz chute 9" shad.

Trolled for 5 hours E/W pattern and it was relatively slow. Ended up catching 24" on Chartruse tandem 2oz 4" shad, 22" on white hose no2 planer. We had at least 6 knock downs but just couldn't hook up. Both of the fish we did catch were in 45' of water.
