Hey guys,

Here's a few pics from the end of last season in the Brewerton Channel (Patapsco).

Another Expensive Spring!

Well, I finally got to finish up my Spring Maintenance and tune-up. I changed my plugs and I think the old ones looked great. Of course, they only had about 50 hours on them. I hardly used my boat...

Thanks for the intel, Bruce.

I usually start my season around the bridge (or Love Point). Were you on the Eastern side of the channel?

Spott,

Are they trolling at the mouth of the Magothy (or chunking)?

I'm thinking of trying some chum/bait next time. I have had NO LUCK trolling for a while.

We launched out of stoney creek and headed to the mouth of the Patapsco. My brother sets the lines while I drive. I told him lightest weights should be on the longest lines,...

Trolling 21 Nov

Undecided about launching in the Patapsco tomorrow (5 min from home) or trailering down to Sandy Point (30 min).

Any last minute suggestions?

Either way, I'll be on the water tomorrow trying to...

Question: Rigging Umbrellas

I'm re-doing my umbrella's this week.

How long of leader should I use to attach the shad/hook behind the umbrella? 60 lb test is enough for that, right?

Thanks,

Good Luck this afternoon. I'm looking forward to fishing Saturday after a long hiatus. I may be in the Patapsco (or maybe the Magothy) and monitor 68 as well.
