big game

i love fishing: preferably rock; never tiger!

stripers

the weekend fishing for stripers was excellent! i met up with john at point lookout and we cruised southward to below the great wicomico. we caught our limit, made it home by sunset and ate rock fish for dinner!

trolling for rockfish

i usually troll for rock by myself early in the morning, or late in the afternoon. but this weekend-opening weekend for trophy rock and flounder-the water and the wind were brutal! i put my boat in where the potomac feeds into the bay, and 40 mile an hour wind gusts combined with a high tide to produce relentless 3 foot surf. i was worried about getting back  in on the boat ramp, so i took the kayak out...it was a tough paddle. 

super low tide

this week we have had several super low tides. i could barely get my kayak in and out of the creek. hopefully this weekend will be deeper as i would love to put the big boat in and do some spring rock fishing: trophy season begins this saturday!

partying at breezy point

great video from a couple of weeks ago by partyoffive shot while striper fishing off of breezy point. maryland.

papa joe

the wife is determined to get herself a deadrise. i dont want no wooden boat...this one is a beauty, though!

catch of the day

mike and his brother from orange, virginia caught one striper. it was a good one, though! oto wanted to lick it. mike has a beautiful 23-foot parker, perfect for the potomac at the mouth of the chesapeake.
