Got an early start this morniing (for me, anyway), and I was actually
out on the water before 8 am, armed with two light flyrods and some
really ugly, homemade flies I tied myself. Well, calling them flies
would be somewhat of a stretch. I was interested in seeing what topwater
bite there was, so I just tied some flies with silver and gold mylar
foil, the flashy stuff.

Viola!

Caught a couple of dink stripers in the cooling water outflow down at
the Calvert Nuke Plant, and then headed across the Bay to the mouth of
the Little Choptank River, where some early blues were congregating.
Caught five of them in less than 20 minutes, and then...the bite was
gone. The blues had places to go and fish to eat. So I headed north up
to a place called "The Hill," but nothing doing. Meanwhile, some of the
same guys who were trolling for stripers when I left in the morning were
still trolling when I got back at 2:45 pm.

Oh...I didn't keep any of the fish. Blues, when they are around, are my
favorite Chesapeake Bay fish to catch. On light line and tackle, they
put up a really good fight. Very little else in the Bay proper does.


Sounds to me like you caught your own dick in the bathtub numerous times.

Glad to see you were smart enough this time not to post during the time
you tell us you were out fishing.
