It's been many months since I visited this newsgroup. I used to check in

I've downloaded this morning, that a relatively small percentage of the
posts here actually have anything to do with boating. Seems a handful of
loudmouths have pretty much monopolized the group filling it with politics
and personal snipping ... very disappointing. Thanks to all you blowhards
for ruining what was supposed to be a forum for boating; maybe some of you
self-aggrandized mental giants can suggest where one might find a boating
forum that actually deals with boating?

Just don't tell anyone else. Keep in mind that the boating season is over for
many of us. I could report on each occasion I put the charger on my batteries,
but that would get old quickly.

It's over? And I was hoping to get an invite for late fall fishing
aboard Poco Loco.

Are you staying at the same marina next season? I probably will, but I
seem to spend more of my fishing time down near the Nuke Plant and
south, and Solomons is a lot more convenient for the lower mid to south
Bay.


Email sent to is never read.

I live in Alexandria, so Deale is the shortest drive for me. I am thinking of
moving to Solomon's when the wife retires. She likes the area also. I think
you're right about the fishing down there. I've heard that people are getting
buzzed by helicopters with megaphones fishing the rips at the power plant. That
was a fun place to go jigging, but I fear the fun may be over.

The CBBT seems to be where all the fall action was this year. I didn't hear of
much action in mid bay. I had no luck in September, and never went out again
after Isabel. Either work or the weather kept me off the water. The guy I
usually go with got stuck by a rockfish and developed a severe infection. The
antibiotics he was taking did bad things to his intestinal tract, so he wasn't
able to go for several weeks either. Oh well, spring is coming.
