Glorious Chesapeake Bay Day!
Left Deale at 8:00, headed across Herring Bay to 30' and started dropping the
lures in the water. Oldfart and Gimp were along to provide instructions, companionship, expertise, and luck. Within 15 minutes of dropping the lines in the water a rod bent and the line started singing. They let me bring the fish in, a nice 35"er on a white, small umbrella rig, fished deep. The skunk was off for the day. About two hours later, still in Herring bay, the same thing happened. This time Gimp, who just had two knees replaced, bravely took the rod and pulled in another 35"er. This fish also hit the white umbrella, running deep. It took about another two hours for the third hit, and Oldfart tugged in a 34"er that filled our limit for the day. This one took a white parachute, again down pretty deep. As we were cleaning up, putting rods away, wiping blood off the boat, and so on, the Maryland Police pulled up, checked our fish and all the other stuff, and wished us well. It was the first time I'd seen any police on the water for about two years, so it was a welcome sight, especially since we had all the right stuff. They did point out that my flares expire in three months, so I was grateful they stopped us now. Great time, great company, and a great day on the Bay!

Try a half-ounce jighead with an XXX sandworm down at the rips. No heavy metal, and when you catch a fish, you catch a fish; you're not dragging in what seems like 10 pounds of heavy metal. Even better...stripers on a fly rod. |

fishing in the Chesapeake Bay? They filled up with fuel at the same dock, drank beer at the same pub, and shared the same IP address. "John H" wrote in message ...

Have I stated here that you are not catching fish, albeit little fish, John? I'm sure with all the effort and time you put into it, you do produce something finny once in a while. Still, I wouldn't call draggin' umbrella rigs fishing. Not with all that heavy metal in the water. How many people, Harry, would believe you've even caught a fish? Several hundred, including the many with whom I've fished. I don't believe you've caught anything at the rips, nor off the pier at Point Lookout. I don't give a damn what you believe. You've already proven yourself to be a BORGed Bush-****ter. The rips, btw, happen to be about my favorite well-known fishing location on the Bay, but I more frequently drift-fish over oyster beds, usually on the other side. And I never claimed to have fished off the pier at Point Lookout, although I do fish off of Point Lookout. All I said was that you could have done better there, on the pier, without dragging all that metal around. I live a little closer to Point Lookout and the Bay than you do, eh? If you live out here, you tend to run into pier fishermen from time to time. Why, I'll bet you didn't know that most Chesapeake Beach pier fishermen do better catching croakers than you do. Try putting away those umbrella rigs and try a little jig casting or sight fishing. With lighter tackle. |

Aren't you the RepubliBORG who claims to never go out on the weekends because it is too crowded? And the same RepublBORG who rarely goes more than a couple of miles from the little Bay outside Deale because you're too cheap to burn a few gallons of fuel? I told you last season where to go for flounder. Afraid to cross the Bay and head south? The best fishing is from the Rips south, on both sides of the Bay. Try the other shore and expand your horizons and what you might see from time to time. Oh...the best cruising is also south, as you get closer to the Atlantic. You're some mighty fisherman, John. You'd do better at the fish counter at Safeway or Giant. |

I'll bet you don't wear rubber gloves when you handle and clean those fish, and I'll bet you eat those fish, too. See ya! Whoops...forgot to attach the article...if you run into John Herring and you're not wearing thick rubber gloves, avoid shaking his hand, especially the one with the open lesions and oozing sores. Some rockfish pose a danger to bay fishermen By MIKE UNGER, Staff Writer Despite the dramatic recovery of rockfish in the Chesapeake Bay, more than half of the bay's most popular fish carry bacteria that can cause painful skin infections in fishermen, according to the Department of Natural Resources. Saturday's start of rockfish season brought little publicity about mycobacteriosis, first documented by Maryland scientists in 1998. They now estimate it has spread to 50 percent of rockfish in some areas of the bay. The Virginia Institute of Marine Science, however, estimates 76 percent of rockfish in the bay are infected. "I think there is a clear human health concern that hundreds of people will be out fishing for rockfish at the start of the season, and very few are aware there is a prevalent disease with these fish," said Howard R. Ernst, a Naval Academy professor and author of "Chesapeake Bay Blues," a book published last year that's critical of the state's regulation of bay pollution. Although there's no proof that eating striped bass infected with mycobacteriosis can make people sick, handling an infected fish can lead to health problems, as Norman Haddaway found out. He was stuck by a fat fish, 17 inches long, with shiny scales that shimmered silver, green and blue as it flopped on the bottom of his charter boat. The Talbot County fishing guide was in a hurry. He and his four paying anglers had pulled 120 rockfish from the bay in about an hour and 10 minutes. Most of the fish, like this one, were too small to keep, and Mr. Haddaway scrambled to throw it overboard. "When you're catching that many fish that quick, you're not as safe and careful as you usually are," he said. "I went to grab it, and it just jumped and stuck me in the palm." Bacteria from that shiny fin bore into Mr. Haddaway's hand and erupted on the other side in a swelling the size of a pork chop. The lump soon spread to his wrist, and his elbow began to stiffen. Doctors think the fish was carrying mycobacterium marinum, the cause of what watermen call "fish handler's disease." "Mycobacterium appears to be on the rise among striped bass in the Chesapeake Bay," said Phil Jones, a fisheries manager with the DNR. "It's had an effect on the survival rates of other species, but to date we have not seen any indication that it affects striped bass survival." On the contrary, last year's recreational harvest of 2.97 million pounds was the highest since a moratorium was implemented in 1985, Mr. Jones said. In addition, last year's commercial take of 1.935 million pounds met the DNR's pre-set allotment. Low profile Maryland scientists down-play the prevalence of the bacteria in the official state fish, touted as one of the Chesapeake Bay's few success stories. The state instituted the rockfish ban in 1985 after a collapse in the bay's population. By the time the moratorium was lifted in 1990, the population had recovered. "There's quite a bit of politics here," said Victor Crecco, supervisor of research in Connecticut's Marine Fisheries Division. "Politically, they feel very uncomfortable about this." Martin Gary, a DNR fisheries ecologist, says fish handler's disease has an exaggerated reputation because several infections that aren't mycobacteriosis get lumped together. The state doesn't keep records of how many people catch it, but surgeons at the Curtis National Hand Center in Baltimore say they see two or three new cases every month. "There does seem to be a disproportionate number of people who live on the Chesapeake Bay who contract it," said James Higgins, a surgeon at the center. "This does seem to be a hot spot for it." James Price, president of the nonprofit Chesapeake Bay Ecological Foundation, said he fears that if the disease isn't addressed, the rockfish resurgence will be short-lived. "I feel that it is just as threatened today as it was in (1985)," he said. "There are signs that these fish are not surviving past six years." Scientists don't know what's causing the mycobacteriosis outbreak. Next week, Desmond Kahn, an environmental scientist for Delaware's fisheries division, will present data to a conference of biologists in Ocean City showing that the death rate of rockfish from natural causes in the bay is three times what it was in 1997. Alternative data show a death rate that's slightly lower, he said. "All we know about this disease is that up to 70 percent of samples have shown to be infected and in aquaculture ponds it's fatal," said Bill Goldsborough, a senior scientist with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. "In the early analysis, you have to be concerned that something's going on." Cautionary tale Most agree that fishermen should be cautious when handling fish with lesions, which afflict some stripers infected with disease. The vast majority suffering from mycobacteriosis, however, exhibit no outward symptoms. "What we tell people is to use common sense," Mr. Jones said. "Wash your hands after handling fish, and if a fish has lesions, throw it back." Mr. Haddaway, who was injured last fall, had surgery at the Curtis Hand Center in February to remove infected tissue. He suffered a severe allergic reaction to antibiotics, and lay in Memorial Hospital at Easton for five days with a constant drip of morphine and steroids. Six months after the rockfish stuck him, the lump on the back of his hand hasn't completely healed. He vows to wear a glove while fishing; Kevlar gloves (made of the same material as bulletproof vests) cost $40. "It's been a kick in the teeth," Mr. Haddaway said last week at his home in Claiborne, a tiny town just west of St. Michaels. "It doesn't hurt now, but I know it's not getting any better either." --- |

ROckfish for me are a catch and release species, unless the fish is gut-hooked, which rarely happens because I use barbless circle hooks and jigs without barbs. I don't much like the taste of stripers. I do keep some flounder when I catch them, and tautogs when I head south. I'm not negative about your catches, John. I just think they are very ordinary, and you do seem to have to work really hard to catch a fish. Further, as I have stated, towing an umbrella rig to catch a fish must be like wearing 12 condoms when you are having sex: you know something is going on out there...you just can't feel it. |

John,
I think you have this all wrong, if he felt comfortable with who he was, he would not have to seek attention by making up stories about his Hatteras, his Lobster Boat, and his wife a MD and a PHD. If she ever finds out that he is making up these stories, her feelings will be hurt, that her husband is so ashamed of her, that he has to make her a Doctor, Doctor just to feel good about himself.

If you are nice to John he might allow you on his boat, if not there are lots of fishing charters on the Bay. I especially enjoy reading about your striper catches, John, when I think about the article on rockfish that ran in last Thursday's Annapolis paper. I'll bet you don't wear rubber gloves when you handle and clean those fish, and I'll bet you eat those fish, too. See ya! John, my boat just isn't big enough for Harry and me.
