Fish Nut 4/12 Shake Down
 

Completed enough of the fix it list to warent a shake down. Left SPSP around 8:00am tested the boat and noticed starboard trim tab not working. :rolleyes: then as I was on plane hit some floating tree root which made a horrible noise. Scared the *&%$*# out of me? Luckily no damage.

Decide to deploy the 6 rod slider rig and look for bubba :) the bay condition wee 1/4" chop with stained water. Only put out one planner. One roof umb, 3 tandems and two more umb. Started at the can on western side saw a few marks shallow. Worked the are then moved over to matapeake, then down to 85, moved around to TPL, BPL. Then back up around anchorage. Very few marks deep or shallow:( no pulls no fish just a great day n the water. Tide never moved. Had to wrestle the Carolina back on the trailer for her ride homedue to the supper low tide:eek: big Skunk:confused:

Good talking to you Saturday. I put 2 lines in at 85a and moved South toward 83. Very little bait, and what bait I did see was in the top 10 feet of the water columb in about 38 ft of water. I saw some fish in the deeper 58 ft. water. I didn't have a bite, but only fished for 45 minutes or so. I had to get to Herrington Harbour because (the Boss) my wife was waiting for me.

Similar outcome for me. Fished for a while on Saturday all the way from a little south of the bridge to below Bloody Point. Never marked fish or bait well in any depths, from 100+ to about 30. I was all over the place hunting fish. Doesn't seem like there are here, at least in that part of the Bay right now. I'll be giving it another go with the full spread next week. Hopefully it picks up.

Water temps are only a degree or two lower than this time last year so I don't think water temps are to blame.:confused: The weeks just before opening day should be much better than what I am seeing and hearing. Rob with a skunk a week before opening day:confused:....can't catch what isn't there Rob.

Thanks for the report Rod and for the info Cletus and bhl.I was at Tomes Landing Marina on Sunday and they told me not much going on in the Susquehanna other the Yellow Perch fishing.I am ready for next weekend let's hope some fish show up.

I'll chase that Skunk off the boat Saturday. Moving the boat south to Solomons;) land of non stained water and tiki bar:D.

Just be sure you don't "catch" something at the Tiki Bar:eek:
