I fished White Rocks today and did well. 3 catfish all around 3-4 pounds, dozens of perch but only 2 longer than 10", and scattered schoolies. Most everything was caught with worms fishing around an underwater boulder opposite side of Ft Smallwood. Nobody around me was catching anything, but that was the spot. Started around 8 and ran out of worms by 10:30.

I am going to give Ft. Armstead a go tommorrow, thinking afternoon to evening as the chance of storms drops by then. What time were you thinking?

Going to try crabbing for the first time tomorrow. Using hand lines, with various bait. Hopefully the weather cooperates, Cowkid2 will be paddling in a borrowed Moken. This will be her first time skippering a kayak solo on the "bay".

Where you trying? You got me intrigued, always something I've been thinking about. You going to hand line from in the kayak or just find an area and get out?

Haven't loaded up yet but if I get my shake of the cobwebs in the morning I might try to catch up with you. Good luck.

Going to launch at JG. Not sure what time, slack tide starts around 7am. Hopefully we catch the last hour or so of incoming.

I crabbed today out of jg today with handlines. Got skunked. But had a few on the lines.
8am the water was smooth like glass and by 11 it was getting choppy. Who knows with tomm being the 4th when it will start getting choppy

There were several people crabbing near Jonas on July 2 when Raptor, J. Rentch and I were fishing. One couple was crabbing from a canoe. Some were running lines and others were using traps.

None of them were having luck when we asked how they were doing.

From that perspective we had a lot in common with the crabbers since we could not find stripers either.

I hope you guys break the crab code at Jonas. If you do, work on the striper puzzle next.

Good luck,

Wondering if you gave it a try and how it went? Any tips on technique?
