10/17 LTJ above the bridge

[Chessie27]

Not a great day to jig. Blowing pretty steady and a little bumpy out there.. Caught a fair amount of fish but nothing to show for it. I bounced bottom and No Ragrats fished wherever his light little bait would end up.
Big fish for the day- maybe 17"
Fished Tolchester to Balt light on western side. Lots of birds. Talked to some guy named Mike (garlien) on a 26' sailfish that had an empty box too. Not too many boats out there for some strange reason.

Boat show tomorrow!

Jeff it was good to know someone else out there in those less than perfect conditions...The last week has been very, very good for me, but today was nowhere near what it has been...As you say, better than working...

I went from the 7' knoll area to south of Baltimore light and through the Shoals with a few shorts to show for about 4 and a half hours out on the water...The last two hours or so were a complete wash for me...

Jigged under some birds, casted, and trolled numerous bucktail combinations, as well as always keep a mojo or Mann's stretch down low...

Tomorrow is another day, although not much different in the forecast than today...Will check the conditions and try it again...Before I know it the season will be over, so every day out there now is one day less to wait for the spring...

No Ragrets little light bait caught the big fish of the day...just saying

While I do like my Parker, I am glad Jeff said let's take the 36. We would have probably fished from the pier in my boat. Regardless of the weather, it was better then sitting home or shopping with the wife, although I haven't figured out just how much she spent yet.
