It has been a tough spring for me as I have only been able to get out a couple of times on my boat and both times I was blanked. Yesterday seemed like it could be the worst of both worlds with a heavy south wind and rain.
Well, I guess that's why you have to go. Woke around 8am as I was out late at a baseball game the night before, clear skies and still air. Hmmm, weather man missed it?
Grabbed my two kids (ages 7 and 10) and we headed out of the Magothy about 9:30. Heard some reports that it had been good on and off south so we made the run.
Set the lines in the anchorage at about 10:30 and trolled south, was able to catch 4 (lost a couple more) over the next two and a half hours, from 33 to 40 inches. All came on Fishnut baits 30-40 feet off the boards. They comprise about half of my 10 rod spread and the other stuff was mixed in there but just not catching.
The kids did a nice job handling the rods with some good sized fish!
Kept the two smaller fish as we were having some friends over for dinner, did a mix of grilled and fishbites out of the frydaddy!
