Sunday report Swan Point to the LP Buoy..
 

Phil Krausz and I went out on his boat this morning, leaving Back River a little after 6am. We haven't been out for rock in a couple of weeks.

Made our way to R10 near Swan Point and set out an 8 rod spread of tandems, spreader bars and one umbrella in white or green.

Noticed a huge fleet of boats anchored up a little N of Love Point chumming.

We wandered south looking for fish, picking up a few throwbacks along the way. Phil finally decided to head us towards the LP Buoy. We tried the ledges near KI and then started going E/W above and below the buoy...FINALLY:D around 1030 the meter lit up and the first keeper hit...24" hit a Capt John's spreader with a 17 Tony in chrome/green flash...a couple of minutes later we took a big hit but no hook up. Made another pass and a rod with 6oz and a tandem pair on bucktails I had custom made at Slevad landed a fat and feisty 29" that Phil wrestled into the boat, but not before it made a run across the stern and hung up 3 other rods AND the downrigger...:mad:

Took us 30 minutes to clear the CF:p and another 30 to find the fish again...this time the WWB rod starts singing big time...I pulled it out and thought we'd hooked a skate...luckily I was wrong...a fat 30".

After that, we called it a day and got home in time to watch the O's pound the Yankees.

Also heard reliable reports of 2 sharks between Podickory and SP...one dorsal was 12" out of the water

I came around LP around 11am this morning on way to watch Thunder on the Narrows. I guess I must have gone right past you. I did notice that there was plenty of bait and fish marks in the area... Would have liked to stop and fish, but wanted to get to Kent Narrows and get a good spot for the races. We also noticed the HUGE fleet of boats a ways north of LP and wondered what was going on up there. Nice job getting them trolling.

Good job fellas........................................Mark
