Sunday above the bridge...
Phil's cousin from St. Louis was in town for a high school reunion. Saturday we had our scheduled charter out of Breezy, so we went out again Sunday on Phil's boat to get Gil some fishing time.
Started the day on the western shore side near Baltimore Light and zig-zagged our way over to the eastern shore after the winds and waves let up a bit.
I stopped counting at 60 boats between the Triples and the bridge on the eastern side. Never thought it would be that crowded.
We only marked bait in the middle of the Dumping Grounds but we never got to the shoals on the eastern side because we were trolling E-W and most of the other boats were doing it N-S...didn't need to get into that mess.
Short and sweet, we trolled 10 lines from 8-3 and never got the skunk off the boat. Never even saw anything we could say was a fish on the meter and never saw anyone else hooked up.
After our 5-man limit on the charter Saturday, we were disappointed that we couldn't hook a fish for Gil on Sunday.
