Offshore trip in the Chesapeake!

[5th Tuition]

There may be some spot above the bridge, but I don't know where in good concentrations. Anglers on the Downs Park Pier catch some.

The spot and rock are so thick further south, I just wanted to experience it today. I haven't been out in a while and wanted to be successful.

If you find spot above the bridge, let me know

Good luck with the DJ tag Marty

I guess maybe you would share that pre-paid gas card with Bruce and I since you're practically already there from your slip?? . I wonder if you have to use it on $4.30/gal gas or if you can get $4.10/gal diesel with it??
Anyway, here's to hoping you win the $20K so you can buy both Bruce and I our own fuel card!! Good luck!!

Ps- thanks for the report

I gotta fix my livewell

Will do Going to try my usual spot and then LL haunts this weekend and will report back. Worst case can run south to join the fleet, but will scout it out closer first.

I have 2 bean bags on my boat just cause they don't scratch anything up on deck. They are nice a hell on the water period. Mine are medium sized wedges from e-sea rider at about $100.

Yes, pretty sure it is a bad pump but haven't really gotten in there to investigate. Think the same pump goes to my generator too I haven't used either one for awhile.

A bit slower?? Next time there is a 25kt N wind, let's race!

Talked with DNR today. I have to take the fish to Annapolis (Rowe Blvd). They have to inspect it and I have to sign a document. I answered a ton of questions today. They even asked what kind of reel, rod, and line I was using

They took the name of my buddy as a witness, and I may be asked to take a lie detector test. Also found out that if I was still working as a charter mate, I would have been ineligible

I'll let you know what happens in September

Lets be honest, this is most likely an "impostor". Even the impostors are worth $500. But here's the "real" deal. The wife wants to go with me tomorrow to check in the fish. Now she wants to go to the Chart House for lunch and the Waterman's museum in Eastport. Walking around Annapolis and doing some StoreFront shopping will probably cost me a few bucks as well.

Then comes the Seafood Festival in September. I get free admission to the Park, free parking, and a free ticket to get inside.. I can see us bringing the grandchildren (along with their parents) and buying crab soup, steamed crabs, oysters, and hot dogs (for the grand kids).



Here I was, thinking I could use the $500 for getting my boat trailer serviced for the fall run of rockfish

Maryland tourism sure has this figured out. My money is going to be spent way before I find out if I got the "real" Diamond Jim.

P.S. If it's the real Diamond Jim, big party at my house!
After I get radar installed on the boat.

I think your odds of winning go up with the number of friends you bring with you in September (your dime of course). I will try to be sure and keep that date open just in case you are felling in need of some support!

Marty,
You just need to concentrate on winning the big bucks. Your friends will let you know how to spend it. I am going today above bridge and will post, good or bad. Going to use some Bloodies and jigs, fishing for whatever moves.
Jeff- If you generator is like mine it has it's own raw water pump. My live well pump is seperate. Did you open the valve.

FYI: Fair amount of Spot close to the bridge on south side - sorta Dolly's Lump in 12-17 feet.

Takes some looking with meter to find them - slow but steady pick at them.

Second hand - Spot just to north of bridge in same depth - due east of bath house at Sandy Point beach.

Fished Weds - no trouble with Spot but Rock proved tough to find. Not much current moved - that's my official excuse.
