4/21 Patent Pending

[5th Tuition]

Well; I said I wasn't going to be able to post as often due to our busy schedule. But here I am already.

Only posting for two reasons. First, we were done early today. And second, to thank a CBAngler who helped us to finish early.

We left the pier around 6:30 (the party was a little late arriving). Ran just outside of Deale and saw bait in 35 ft of water. Started setting lines and bingo, fish on before I had one side set. The second fish hit minutes later. Whew, a good start. However, the next two fish were undersized by a couple inches.

Hard to swing back through with all the boat traffic, so we went looking for another pod of fish. Success came fairly quickly, so 4 in the box.

Around 9 am things slowed. I kept wanting to check a side, but didn't want lines out of the water.

Ring,Ring; off went my phone. Mark (Mlag) had found a good pod of fish (when doesn't he???). We weren't far away, so we swung over to his "hot spot". The final 2 fish went in the box in 20 minutes.

With a cooler full of fish by 10:30, we started fixing lunch for the party. Capt. John fixes crabcakes, potato salad, cole slaw, corn bread, and apple pie for the fishermen (and me).

I pulled our umbrella's and left some board lines in the water while the party ate a hearty meal. As luck would have it, we boated two C/R fish during lunch.

I racked rods and we headed home. Everyone excited and happy.

Thanks to everyone who feeds me information (Mark is not the only one). I certainly hope I give out as much info as I receive. It is appreciated by John and me.

That is the best part of your post - wish all captains would do this. Congrats on a good day!

Spotted the Patent Pending on Friday 4/20, while fishing with Jim (Powerplay). Good looking boat.

Wow, cooler full of fish and lunch prepared by the captain! Sweet!

Glad to hear you all did well. Nice touch fixing lunch for your party!

We cancelled for tomorrow, hoping to get out next Saturday I need the break

Hey Marty,
Just re-paying you for information the previous day. UH.........nevermind, forget that....tell Capt John he owes me a crab cake sandwich and a piece of apple pie


Here' a pic of Brandon with the "new boat" record........47 inch C&R





See you out there as soon as this winds stops.............................Mark

Mark; that is one great looking fish. If that's Brandon's biggest, you might want to pick up a fiberglass replica from McGinnty's for a B-day present.

Wait.....How come John didn't fix us lunch during our c/r trips?


Had breakfast at his place many times and always enjoyed it.


Looking forward to getting out again on that beautiful boat.
