Chumming the Hill 10 June 2010

[Chad]

First time fishing all year. Got to the boat at 7a.m. after stopping by Marty's for chum and bait. Some one really need to put a bait shop in Serverna Park. Left Severna Park Yacht basin by 7:30 and headed for the Hill. Anchored in 23ft and set out the chum and lines. The tides was going out and at 9:45 got the thump. A nice 26" to the boat. I fished till noon only had one more hit and it was a ray. Got back to the dock and cleaned the boat. Chumming sure does make a mess, but dinner will be worth it. Not many boats out there and the ones that were trolled off board the entire time.

I haven't seen anyone chumming at The Hill in three years. Used to be my go to, but many speculate it was " over chummed" causing algae blooms. I don;t chum anymore, but nice to see the Hill might be back. Maybe try live lining next time ???

What depth of water were you in? The few chumming trips I have done, the people set up in less than 25' of water have done the best. Fish seem to be shallower this year than years past (typically I would be in about 35' of water this time of year)

Thanks for the report.

Blakesdad- I would love to LL have not found any spot yet so figured why not chum.

B-Faith- I was in 23ft of water. I also had 2 bags of chum one on the surface and another about 15ft down.

Thanks for the report. I hope to get out and chum this coming Wed or Thursday. I will probably go north of the bridge or the structure between number 1 and 85a
