Took my step-father out jigging today
that's right, I said jigging! We fished the bottom with specialized Baits lures from .05 OZ to 2 OZ. When the wind picked up, the 2OZ metal did much better holding bottom.
We fished the lower Chester but out in the middle of it, 21' ish. I was headed to the mouth when I saw birds diving so decided to give it a shot and BAM, FISH ON! If was a blast. Lost a few nice fish due to old leader line breaking but landed up to 26" fish. Most were 17-23" tho. If we caught a handful of little ones, we would move. He was very impressed how some of the smaller fish would hit a bucktail with 5" BKD (maybe a BA I don't know, they were out of the package and I don't know LT stuff
) that was not a lot smaller than they were.
No trolling stuff for sale but it was a fun afternoon. Going again tomorrow
Chester River 10/30 = nice afternoon
