John, can you read? He said the boat kept moving, so maybe he found a
school. Did you SEE that? Also note that you stated that their weren't
any croaker being caught in Herring Bay. Notice now, read CAREFULLY.
Harry said he fished around the Lady Hooker THEN WENT TO HERRING BAY.
Now, remember, your exclusive problem with Harry's post was that there
were no croaker in Herring Bay. You posted on Tidalfish, and not ONE
SINGLE PERSON has said anything like that. Next time you call your
buddy and tell him to post to the message negatively, get it right at
least!!!



Actually, a little geography lesson is important here. Herring Bay is
part of Chesapeake Bay. It basically is a several mile wide area of
Chesapeake Bay whose main feature, I suppose, is Deale, MD, where
Herring keeps his boat. Herring Bay is not sharply defined. Herring Bay
itself is fairly shallow and as you exit it, Chesapeake Bay itself
gradually gets deeper.

When I saw the Lady Hooker, a substantial "head boat," it was well
outside of Herring Bay, but in the general vicinity of it. The head boat
was crowded, and the few times I looked over to it to see if there was
any action where it was, I saw no bent rods. Several of the boats in my
immediate area were catching pinfish and croakers. We also saw a few
very large rays swimming about.


The reality is, Herring ain't much of a fisherman. He seems to engage in
only two aspects of the game...dragging heavy metal baits behind his
boat, and dropping worms on the bottom, and keeps doing the same things,
over and over and over and over and over. Well, if you drag baits long
enough, sooner or later you will snag a fish.

When I see a bunch of guys trolling, I'll get in the area but out of the
traffic pattern, and liveline a pinfish or large shiner or other
baitfish. I'll usually get the hit I want, and it sure as hell beats
trolling.

The reality is that you didn't see a croaker!

Now, how in the hell would you know that? What an ignorant statement.
You have no facts to back up such a wild claim. Grow up.
