Solomons 11/18
Headed out at about 7:30 from Solomons. We ran to HI and and dropped lines on the W edge of the channel. We picked up a 27 incher right away on a chart tandem about 80' out. About an hour later, we picked up a 30 incher on a spoon umbrella 250' out with 3oz on it. Then we picked up a 38 incher on a deep umbrella. The bigger fish were caught in deep water--90 to 100 feet.
It was pretty snotty out there, but we stuck it out and picked at some decent fish. There was a point where we saw HUNDREDS of birds working and we trolled all over 'em with nothing to show for it. There were about 10 boats that did the same, but didn't get any fish either. Really ant-climatic!

P.S. We checked all their stomachs and found:
7 menhaden
3 eels
9 baby crabs (2" to 3" wide)
