trolling bite starting

[B-Faithful]

Nice fish Bruce and Marty

The fish we have had trolling so far this season have been coming long off the board. Short lines have gone virtually untouched. That should change as the water warms up next week and menhaden start to show in numbers

Fished Saturday afternoon for the first time time in two weeks out of Annapolis

Water was 45 degrees. Blow out tide (almost had trouble loading my boat on the trailer water was so low). Almost no bait and very few marks. Tolled with lines in the water for about 3 hours or so. One fish while setting lines.. a nice 44"er in 48' of water or so.

I am hoping to see more bait and fish with some sun and water warming up.

Today on this date the last few years we have been at least 50 degrees at TPL. Yesterday was 45 degrees. 2010, which was a fantastic preseason the water was almost 55 degrees by now.

Last year April 2, 2017 had Mike (Garlien) and his son onboard. We hooked up 5 fish

This year, I've only caught one fish (on Bruce's boat). Mine goes in the water this week
