Yes, Paul that was extreme; but after not finding anything the two previous days, it called for extreme. Thank goodness for four strokes. Mikes new F250 pushed his 23 Seacraft at 35 MPH in calm water at just about 3 MPG. We could have gone again on Wed, but did not want to push our luck with the weather going that far. There are practically no boats fishing down their right now. Lonely is a good thing until something happens. Sometimes it is best to just be thankful for what you had.

Wild Bill; when you say you didn't find anything the previous two days; is that because they are still schooled up WAY farther south? Does that mean they have a lot further to come until they hit the Cheaspeake, and thus be a week or two behind schedule? 5th (Marty)

Marty-
I personally know about two huge schools of fish down there, one way out and one in close, but way south. The out school was reported to be 10 miles long. The school we were in was at least three miles long. Hopefully there are more schools. It is hard to know but I suspect that some fish scooted though the bridge with the full moon during those bad weather days when no one was out. I would not say they will be behind schedule. They can move 30 miles per day or night if they want. If I were a pre-season troller, I would try it soon.

Yes, Tim that is what keeps us doing all we have to do to find great fishing. This trip was a bit extreme with 134 miles the first day, 175 the second and 180 the third. We did our part to keep OPEC happy.

Bill, I think we should gone striper fishing last weekend. I heard from a friend that there were birds right off the beach in VB. With the west wind it may not have been too bad. I still need that jigged BFT, however.
