We have charters schuduled for Fri. and Sun. so we poked our heads out to scout the bay. What a mess!!! Fairly significant debris from Deale to the Power Plant. The water was so muddy that when you looked across the water, it looked like sand on a beach.
We found a small patch of clean water inside the choptank (near the little choptank) and picked up a nice rock and about 10 nice blues. As the tide ran, you could see the clean patch getting smaller and smaller. Our circles got smaller as well, until the patch totally disappeared
.
Birds were not flying, most were sitting on wooden debris and just taking it easy. I swear, I don't know if they could have seen through the water looking for bait anyway. When we dropped our lures over, they disappeared about 12-18 inches down.
We decided to cancel our charters so the customers would have a better shot at fish latter this fall.
On a secondary note: Last week when I came across the South river, you could see the mud in the river and a goodlooking bay. Today, I saw a goodlooking South River, and a muddy bay. Maybe things are changing for the better
.
Be safe out there.
