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.

For a great time, go here first... http://tinyurl.com/ygqxs5v

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

Larry

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.

I'm not familiar with your area. The bad is an estuary so it should be
mostly freshwater. It's a huge body of water so the tides can only
affect a small portion of the bay, right?

Uh...wrong.
