Good to hear you got out. Sounds like you had a great day.
We have friends from Holland coming next week. I won't be ready to try to launch
the boat myself, but with Adri's (my friend) help, I'm sure planning to do a
little boating. He and his wife are shipping their VW camper van from Rotterdam
to Baltimore. We'll pick it up a few days after they arrive. They'll stay here a
couple weeks and then spend the next three months travelling.
I'd like to get into the Ches Bay and do a little fishing. Even some bottom
fishing for spot, perch, or croaker would be fun. I went down to the marina a
couple weeks ago, and the boat looks fine. The cover took a beating, but the new
one is here. Next year I'll give serious though to shrinkwrapping, especially if
I get the phone number of the real cheap guy in MD that one of the poster here
is always talking about.
I'm also interested in seeing how this new dog of mine does on a boat.

Sounds like a great time! *What else can you catch there?

Striped bass are the big draw, along with trout and flounder. But fishing for
all three has gotten much worse over the past few years, especially the trout
and flounder.

Is the entire bay salt water?
IIrc these are the same striped bass that show up around here later in
the season. If they are, they are known for going some 40+ miles up the
Connecticut River, way beyond the salt or brakish water areas. Brown
trout can live way down by the shoreline too, not sure how far they
actually swim out into the Sound, but I have caught them a few hundred
yards up river from the Sound.

They adapt very well to fresh water. Lake Lanier is full of 'em as are
most southern lakes.
