Had a lucky day Saturday in a few short hours. The crew of three managed some nice fish to end the spring trolling season. Set the lines at 6:30 - 7:00 and had an immediate hit, a nice 36”. With the rising sun winds were steadily building until close interval white caps were the norm. The winds kept increasing and shifting, until the boat was rocking and rolling becoming increasingly annoying. With it being snotty and having a fish in the box we decided to pull the lines and head in. As we were pulling the lines we had a double hook up, a nice 32” and 30” to end the spring season. All fish caught on light rigs with Mylar close to the boat on planer lines in deep water on the channel edges.
Said fare well to our short term marina home in Solomon’s and placed the old girl back on the trailer. Pulled her back to her Anne Arundel home and washed the scum line off and started preparing for our next trip. “Chesapeake Beach”!!!!.
Then we will be launching out of Sandy Point harassing the northern bay population of fish.
Since it was our last Rock trip for awhile we kept the meat for the table. While cleaning the fish I opened the stomachs to see what was inside. I wanted to see these may worms everyone has been speaking of. These fish had nothing in there stomachs they looked healthy but they were empty as far as food.
DNR if you’re reading, it was a tough season with a lot of days not fishable due to weather. I have a boat that will take a beating, and I was pushed off the water few days. I am positive the smaller boat with less displacement had a rough time getting out. DNR please remember a lot of anglers can only fish weekends due to work and trying to earn a living. Anglers definitely had limited opportunity to experience the spring season in there own vessel.
Good luck gang.
