Will anybody else be off after Christmas? I have not caught a fish in December from my kayak and really want to keep the streak going.

I plan to fish at some point next week -- most likely in the Severn. I too have a streak going -- so far I have caught at least one fish every week during 2012. If I can catch one during the week of Dec 23 and again on Dec 30 or 31, I will have completed the full year and can stop the obsessive behavior.

LMK, I have the need, FOR FISH.
This year, I only had the goal of one fish per month. Next year I may try to emulate your lofty goal.Comment

probably will fish atleast one or two days for picks, crappie or cats.Comment

plan on fishing a few days down here in Southern MD- probably get on Mattawoman and some of the fresh water creeks for bass, snakes and crappie- catch and release stripers by the hot ditch- rules are a PIA with barbless hooks, though"Lady Luck" 2016 Red Hibiscus Hobie Outback, Lowrance Hook2-7TS

I might be interested in going down to Mattawoman to fish. Depends on the day and the weather. Will you be launching from Slavins?http://docirvcustombaits.com/baitbox/

If you are not satisfied with the color or texture of your custom made Doc Irv baits just let me know and I will redo it at no cost to you to your satisfaction, because I am not happy unless you are happy.*

Yep- Slavins for me this time of year- no sliding in at the 225 bridge- too damn cold to go swimming again! Barbless hooks on the lures only for catch and release on stripers...ultra light tackle really shines for me the next four months- unless I am fishing the big blue cats- then 30# class tackle- with big chunks of menhaden on 8/0 circle hooks on fish finder rigs in deep channels- a 60-80 lb. blue cat will bust some tackle unless you are prepared-"Lady Luck" 2016 Red Hibiscus Hobie Outback, Lowrance Hook2-7TS

Dec 21 - I went today. I felt like the wind was blowing 20-30mph often in Lake Anna due to the spray and cold air temp. The air temp was 39-40F. No stripers just a LM and 2 WP. Casting was almost impossible today. Trolled two lines. I had two bad line tangles. One was so bad that I respooled completely. It took me 2 hours for 2.5 mile trolling directly against the wind when I came back to the launch site. I saw only one bass boat.
Dec 22 - skip. I assume tomorow will be as bad as today.
Dec 23 - Will fish CBBT for stripers or Elizabeth River for Specks/Redfish
Dec 27 - Will fish CBBT for stripers or Elizabeth River for Specks/Redfish
Dec 29 - The last one for the year. Will fish CBBT for stripers or Elizabeth River for Specks/Redfish
I cooked dinner today. I've been cooking and cleaning everyday to go fishing.
