Back From Fishing

Five of us, Col. Ski, Derek, Tom, Col. Ricardo (retired), and me hooked up for a fishing trip with Walleye Pete. We left Solomons at 5 PM to hit the daybreak bite at Location X, where we caught half our boat limit of ten Striped
Bass.

Calvert Cliffs shining in the daybreak.

Derek with one of the several stripers he caught today. He had the hot hand, and caught the biggest fish of the day, a 29 inch striper. We had hoped for some Speckled Trout, as Pete has had some caught in the region recently, but they eluded us today.

 After wearing out our welcome at "Location X", we crossed the Bay to the Little Choptank River, where we hit many sites, and caught fish at most of them.

From there, we wandered to the Choptank River, where I scored this nice 23 inch striper out of a rip.We did manage a boat limit of keepers, and had to throw back some spares.

 Derek also got this perchasaurus on a lure you might not expect it to hit.

We we on the way back to Solomons by 1 PM and arrived around 2. Here we were passing Cove Point Lighthouse.
