Default Scouting north of Bridge

Moved my boat north from Deale last Thursday. I'm now running out of my "summer" slip (Bodkin Creek)
Today was light and variable so a good day to scout the area. Calvin and I hit a place close to home with some bkd's and quickly lost a few There may have been fish there, but I was on the move today
Headed south to an area that's been good to me between the towers (water and cell) off Kent island. Nobody home. Trolled my "normal" 25 ft line and came up empty (nothing showing on meter). Moved out to 30 ft, same result. Moved in to 20 ft, still nothing on screen.

Some boats were set up off Love Point (further north) and I ran the short distance to close the gap. Before we got there (chummers) I wanted to drop my spread early. I put out my 7 rod spread of umbrellas and tsunami shads.

Way before we got to the other boats, we had five rods go down. Only one other person on the boat, so I was instructing him as to which rods looked the heaviest to reel in first. 22 to 24 inch fish came over the side and we released the keeper 19-21 inch fish. With two in the box, I swung back on my track to find the school again. I found them, but they wouldn't bite when trolling AGAINST the tide.

I felt stupid for tossing back the other two keepers we needed I swung around again and followed my original track (with the tide), and once again multiple rods went down

With our limit in the box, we racked the trolling rods and jigged a few 22 inch fish before heading for the barn (it got hot).

We were back in the slip by noon, and the airconditioning in the truck felt great on the way home.

I received a report that 100 porpoises were headed our way from down below the bridge

There's fish out there (Mako Mike was very successful last week). Go get 'em
