Smile South River Perch Blitz, July 26th, 2012

Perch Akimbo in the South River 2012 07 26

With small craft warnings, wind out of the south at 15 to 20 knots, and 2 to 3 foot swells, we stayed in the South River today and slayed some jumbo white perch.

We iced 9 fat perch, and Norm and I each caught around 20 to 25. It was a three-species day overall; Norm caught a solitary spot and a few small rockfish, and I also caught a number of small rockfish. Norm had success with his small chartreuse Rattletrap, but the hot lure today was my white beetle spin.

We were underway at about 5 pm, finished fishing at about 8:30, then went upriver where we enjoyed some crabs and beer at Mike’s Crab House (great jumbos!). We left Mike’s at almost 11 pm, had a near miss with a thunderstorm, and got home at almost 1 am.

Low tide at Thomas Point was at 4:35 pm, high tide was at 11:40 pm, and the moon was 44% visible and was waxing. The salinity at Annapolis was about 12 PSU and has been trending up from about 9 PSU over the past 30 days.







Nice Fillets!

I love days like that.

If people don't have a few white 1/4 ounce beetlespins in their box than they're really missing out. The things are still like a buck at Walmart and I catch everything except chlamydia with them. And there's probably been a few close calls with that too.....
