John,

Last time I went out from Deale had a great day of fishing in essentially
pond-like conditions.

The fishing was good but what I most enjoyed about the trip was the dozens
of Osprey nests on all the fixed markers in the channel going out. It was
quite a sight.

Is the Osprey population continuing to increase and thrive?

Left Deale about 6:30 am, had the lures in the water by 7:30, and landed
a 32"
striped bass around 9:30. Had another hit about an hour later, line just
screaming off the reel. Finally started to pull the fish in, but he
crossed some
of the other lines and got off.

The day was gorgeous, although a little breezy. Waves were in the 2 foot
range
which wasn't bad for trolling at 3mph, but made for a rough ride back
home. All
in all, a great day. Boat ran well, had a good buddy for company, and
took home
enough fish for each of us to have a good dinner.

Yes, the ospreys are doing well. They have all the markers occupied with nests
now, moma and dad osprey screech at every boat that goes by. I love seeing them
return each year. It gives a little hope for the health of the bay.
