Can't even catch a break! 12/1

[Chessie27]

After a tough fishing day Friday, skipped Sat's trip and debated Sunday's trip. Just the bride and I headed out with a plan A and B. Heard from some professional fishermen there wasn't much happening down by the ES/BB so headed to Mike's North for a late lunch instead. Nice and flat out on the Bay for a change. Saw a knot of birds on the way to the Patapsco. Even though most were just sitting on the water, I slowly weaved around them to see what they were hiding...found nothing!!

Ran to Mike's, foaming at the mouth for bacon wrapped tenderloin and a crush. Lots of slips available but after all, it is Dec 1st. Walk up to the front door and see CLOSED FOR THE SEASON STARTING DEC 1ST Let some of the regulars there know with a quick text and got a suggestion of another place in the area. Start heading to Bodkin Creek while a nice guy calls to be sure the "Cheshire Crab" is open and damn if they aren't closed for the season as well

Licking my wounds (mainly 'cause I was starving by now) I headed back across the bay. I knew the Fish Gods would reward me for my effort by having a bunch of breaking big fish halfway home but that wasn't the case either. At least I was able to wash up the boat after finding working water (my dock water lines all froze and busted last week).

Hungry and beaten, I came home with enough daylight to find that there was water in my lower unit oil on my 90 Honda WTH?!?! I am almost looking forward to going to work tomorrow!!

Thanks for the info/help today Mike and Marty!!

Really thinking the trip to Solomons Thursday - Sat might not be such a good idea.....

Thanks for the info on Mike's yesterday. Mike and I were seriously thinking of tying up there and just putting down some beers since there wasn't a single fish to be found.

Fortunately we had ample amounts of food and beer on the boat.
