Fishing Reports

[5th Tuition]

I've been asked "why so few fishing reports?" from some of us

The truth is that we are seeing small pods of fish that can get wiped out quickly

Some are large enough to jig on for a short period of time (short drift), but many of these get spread out after 3 or 4 boats show up. Birds and breaking fish will show you the way with a quality pair of binoculars (or in my case, a friend with stabilizers)

Once you jig on them for 30 minutes, you may have to drop 5 or 6 trolling rods over to locate the broken school.

If you get on some breakers, you can limit out quickly. We set a arbitrary bottom number of 22 inches before they go in the cooler. Some nice fish 26-30 inches are available if you get on them first

Everyone knows I am primarily a troller, but thanks to some good friends, I have been called in on some nice jigging fish.

I will be leaving Deale very shortly (must be out by June 1st), so I will be looking for fish on either side of the bridge.

Sorry, the reports have not been as plentiful as trophy season.

Here is a pic of what's available jigging.

OMG one of the retirees posted a report! Thanks Marty, good or bad I enjoy reading the reports. After all you guys should be helping out us working folks who only get out on the week nights or weekends. After all aren't we supporting you? Glad to hear you have been getting some fish and what a lucky guy to be able to take a female college soccer team out! Hop you played nice!

They had a great day on Patent Pending
We ran north, found limited fish (but lots of grass to make my day miserable)
Finally heard of a good bite further south (thanks Bruce) and whacked them.

Here the girls hold up some nice fish for a pic.

Man I was hoping to get a little credit for those fish! Marty I went back to that same area today and it was pretty dried up. I had to do a lot of searching. But once I found them it was game on for a few hours.

Ok, Ok
Bruce texted me the spot further south, and C.J. confirmed

When I work a charter, I also work my phone (as all my friends know)

Hopefully I will be out next week and will be posting more. I will be heading to Tolchester sometime this weekend to pick up parts for my transmission (thanks Jeff). It will be really nice to know that when I put the boat in reverse it will actually respond. The service manager at Tolchester Marina worked on the phone with me to trouble shoot the problem and then ordered the parts needed to fix it. Got my red hoses ready along with the spinning rods.
