Norm and I actually did quite well with bronze rattletraps last Thursday in about 3 to 8 feet of water neard some structure and current. The BKD's, Gotchas, and other lures just were not cutting it, but we each caught about a dozen each in the 14 to 16+ inch range. I think the reports of peanut bunker in the area may have had something to do with it.

Mike, I would never tease you about using Rattletraps. They catch 12 inch fish very well

Marty you are correct...I just don't remember catching fish that small with them....I do however remember catching fish with them when you were not catching fish....

It's not really Mike's fault. When we started bay fishing together years ago all I had was a huge bag full of bass fishing lures, so that's what I used.


Of course, trolling a RatLtrap was Mike's idea.

Boat goes in slip this weekend. We can go looking for spot anytime you get off work. You help me find them in the evening, I'll use them the next morning

Trolling is still productive, put 11 keepers in the boat yesterday in between raindrops (one time a sheet of rain). Off Tilghman in 30-35 ft was best. Birds working, fish breaking.
Not big keepers, most 19-22 inches. We did see a couple of small pods that we could have dropped spot on (if we had any) or jigged (if it stopped raining).

Helps to be on a 46 ft Markley on those kind of days!
