25 Fish Later

What a beautiful day on Chesapeake Bay! Flat as a millpond this morning, a little foggy, but the fog burned off. Water temps in the mid-70s. Lots of folks fishing for croakers, so we tried our luck and managed to catch 25 in less than two hours in two different spots. We used Fishbites Bag O' Worms, an artificial bloodworm. They're fabulous. We outfished the Lady Hooker, a headboat that was in the crowd. Tossed all the fish back. Took a nice little jaunt up and across the Bay to St. Micheals for lunch, then we zipped up through Kent Narrows to ogle the fancy boats and bikinis. Came back down again, drift fished for a while in a pack of boats just outside Herring Bay and caught...more croakers. It's pretty hot outside now, must be almost 90F. Gasoline prices were pretty bad at the marinas we saw. About $2.69. Nothing like having a POTUS who won't even jawbone Big Oil. Oh well. Wow! *No* one has caught a croaker yet in Herring Bay, including both Hookers who were there this past Thursday. Lots of perch and a few spot, but nary a croaker. You should post this on Tidalfish.com. You'd be a hero in a minute. As a matter of fact, would you mind if I posted it for you? Hell, I'll give hkrause credit and everything! You are *the* man, Harry! -- John H "All decisions are the result of binary thinking." |

I'm now doing my drywall crackfilling for the bay window we installed. Yesterday, in the hottest June 25 on record (33 deg C) my brother-in-law sends one of his employees up with the dump truck so I could load all my garbage from the project. I can't complain though, if I had to hire a trucker to come, and the tipping fees at the dump...it would be over $ 150.00. |

John, explain to us so we know how magical this story is. |

The problem is, he's desperately trying to find something wrong in your post to bolster his low self esteem. His sagging ego is probably due to age, or alcoholism. |

What ever happened to your vow to not post off topic, not post lies about others and to not insult? |

You're maintaining no one is catching croakers in Chesapeake Bay? You ought to hire a fishing guide for a day and learn how to catch fish. Then you ought to hire a therapist to help you get over your obsession about where I keep my boats. Herring, I know I'm your hero, but we'd both be better served if you kept your bile under control with a Tums. As I mentioned previously, I let my "subscription" to TidalFish expire many months ago, and I hadn't looked at the posts there for months before that. Reading posts where the "boys" talk about their great catches from "Location X" may give you a hard-on, but it doesn't do a thing for me. Nope, Harry, I didn't say that no croaker have been caught in the Chesapeake Bay. There have been a *few* caught down by Solomons and points south. No one is catching croaker in the Herring Bay neck of the woods, or even down by Breezy Point, except *you* of course! The Lady Hooker didn't catch any! (Your *fish tale* sounded so magical I called the Rod 'n Reel tackle shop. Tell you what I'll do. Tomorrow I'll post your story on tidalfish.com, and ask if the members think it's fact or fantasy. Then I'll post some of the replies here. I'll be sure to give you credit for your tale! -- John H "All decisions are the result of binary thinking." |
