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!

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. |
