11/2/15 Large Loop

[5th Tuition]

Left the Bodkin and ran across the Bay to Swan Point looking for a better quality of fish. The Bay was flat and you could see the tiniest ripple from bait and birds from Bay Bridge to Key Bridge

Nothing

Trolled from just above Brewerton to Rock Hall. Picked up and ran to Triple Buoys where we found bait deep but nothing molesting it. Saw the Pride of Baltimore coming out of the Chester and what looked like the Sultana as well. While "glassing the area", I hit the mother load of birds. Pulled the trolling rods (6) and ran for the winged marauders with jigging rods. Dinks, this years rock. Must have been at least six to eight inches long
Lou brought me a sandwich for lunch and BEER. So we watched the tall ships and ate.
After lunch, I picked up and headed west!!! Lou asked where I was going? I said "to catch fish" Some guys at the marina have been doing OK on smaller fish in the shallows. Before I could get to my destination, we saw a few birds flying and a couple working the water. We were still east of the channel (hint). I dropped over three trolling rods and "BAM" we were on. Caught our 4 fish limit in about 15 minutes. They were the smaller (21-23 inch) fish we have been focusing on outside the Bodkin/Patapsco/Key Bridge area. But at least we had some fish for dinner

I have to get the boat back on the trailer, but if I do, it will be full of leaves from the trees surrounding my house
I need a big wind (over night so not to impact fishing) to get rid of these leaves.

Good luck,
