Non catching report

[B-Faithful]

It was fantastic to see the surface water temps range between 41 and 44 degrees. Full moon is the 26th. My bet is that the fish migrate up the bay around the full moon with the good night light and higher tides.

BTW, 5th Tuition got some DNR brownie points with his 6 rod spread.

We pulled 13 rods with white planer board and no flags just to be crazy

13 rods - are you serious
12 or 14 is OK but never , ever 13 - bad a$$ voodoo there.

Next you'll tell us your first turn was to port - we all know how bad that is

Now wonder you did not get a hit

[5th Tuition]

It was a great day on the water. Only marks we saw were deep also. Just wanted to do a shakedown cruise but couldn't help but put six rods over (with stingers and barbs) to check out the motor at trolling speed.
Coming up Ritchie Hyway with the boat; the truck just died. Drifted to the side of the road and she just wouldn't turn over again for me. Called a fishing buddy who was on his way home from work and he towed the boat home for me. I returned to the truck and still not turning over. Towed to Bob Bell Ford and we will see what they say tomorrow (fuel pump maybe).
I always told my kids when they were growing up, "if money can fix the problem, it's not that bad".
It's going to rain the next couple days, so I should be back on track for next week.
We started trolling March 17th last year (and catching), but I just couldn't pass up a day like today.
Good to see Greg and his crew out there today. Not much bait, fish, or birds
working anywhere today.
Best of luck to Mark (Mlag) tomorrow. If anyone can find them, he can.

Ha, Find em'? Sure, damn few better than Mark at that. But remember one thing. I'm going tomorrow with him so actually catchin' what he finds is gonna be a different story!

I looked at the log book I caught my first blue around April 2nd. I am sure I can repeat this year.

The NE river was 44 yesterday... two and a half weeks and we should be in full swing!

The bay's been off for some time right now. Even on the Potomac when it's normally good all through winter.

Well at least you got the boat out and you had good weather what more can you ask for other then catching fish. The next couple of days with the temps in the high 50 should help things along even with the rian....

Water temps at Thomas Point for 3/9/2009 were 40-42. Temps seems to be in-line. I agree with Skip....13 rods has a bad ring to it.....Don

[5th Tuition]

Don; how many rodholders on that new ride. FYI; I have valuable fishing experience off a 25 Maycraft (thanks Baldy) in case you need a knowedgable Ho. Just leave the net at home, and let me use my fish lipper.
