Can't use harsher language on the forum
Readers Digest version of Tues./Wed.
My transducers were fouled (looked like they were wearing a fur coat), and I was losing bottom and signal whenever faster than 10mph
I have a friend working at a marina and he said to stop in, he would lift the boat with the forklift and we could clean the duckers
Having done that, we needed to fish to check their usefulness.
Dale and I ran just out front of the Bodkin and picked up two nice 22 inch fish for Dale's dinner.
Bruce (Hook Em) was out that day and only produced 4 keepers as well. So, when my friend Lou wanted to trailer his boat for some action, I convinced him to launch south at Chesapeake Beach.
Anyone who knows Lou, knows he wants fish in the box or it's a wasted trip. Well, it was a wasted trip. We ran up into the Choptank where some charter friends of mine were producing just days earlier.
We boated 6 fish just under legal limit and never saw another boat (charters included) boat a fish for the box.
We tried in the river, mouth of river, middle of bay, and finally western side off Breezy Point.
No birds to speak of, and not much bait on the surface. Most bait stayed low that day.
Just posting to give you guys something to read, and console my friends that are putting a lot of effort into just a few fish.
It has to get better; I hope
