My fist time down there, I was told go out to the 30'-35' contour line and set the spread, zig-zag north or south from 65' into 20'-25'.

You can always cruise the same zig zag pattern til the meter lights up then set the spread.

To the south you have parkers creek and to the north you have the Radar Towers. Straight accross you have the cr bouy and 78-78a.

good luck.

One very good area - day in / day out - is going east /west from marker #78 to Parkers Creek. The creek is only 7-8 feet wide but you'll notice a flat sandy beach area. North and south has cliffs or houses.

Take a minute to look at a chart - you'll see the channel makes a turn here.
I think this causes odd currents to form - attrachting bait and fish. The bottom is mostly mud and no real edges or drop offs but it often holds fish.

There is a green marker just south of Parkers - good underwater point here.
Can be good in fall.

A lot of boats just go right out front to 30 feet - then wander south for 2-3 hours. They catch fish sooner or later.

Leaving Breezy - be sure to mark the inlet on your GPS. It can be tricky to find first 2-3 times coming back. Leaving the inlet - it remains shallow for about 1/8 mile. Most guys go slow until it drops from 5 to around 15 feet - then hit the gas. No real channel - most just head due east.

The boats there use VHF #74 - great folks there.

Thanks guys! I have to say, one of the great things I have found out about fishing around here is how much the old dogs are willing to help the new dogs.
I'll head south into a large open space and learn how to troll planer boards with my son. Life's an adventure and we will certainly have one tomorrow (if it aint too rough!) Having been fishing with Baldz, Bfaith, marty, skipperw, martin, and the usual gang has given me a base to work off of. See ya'll out on the water.
Tim

I used to keep my boat and Breezy and Parkers is great. I also like the areas in front of the radar towers beween Breezy and Chesapeake Beach. The areas around 78 and 78A have always been productive as well. The best part about Breezy is the number of spots that are close and productive.

Thanks again guys. Family stuff got in the way of getting on the water but I did manage to drop my boat off. Looking forward to a good fall season of learning how to troll and picking up a few nice keepers...God willing!
