Moc, the first step to liberation is realizing that your job is not real. It's something they created to keep you off the water. Once you achieve the enlightenment brought upon by completing Step One, steps Two through Twelve fall right into place.

Ohmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Wow... I never thought of it that way!

Relatively nice out today. The cold is supposed to come back tomorrow.
Wonder how they are doing?

I kind of wish I had blown off work and gone too.

You should have. The fish were hungry.

OMG! they are FAT! I wonder what they are gorging on? where they in one spot or did you have to move around to find each one?

[chex]

Gorging on BKDs I'm guessing... They were in several places around the rockpiles.

nice fish!

Hey chex, nice seeing you out there! We ended up with 5 fish from 16-24" and man were they fat. It seemed like right when we got there the bite was on then they shut down. Had to be in early so with our long paddle we had to scoot. The fish we caught came from 24-36' and wanted the lure not moving much.

Those were some nice fish Mike. What weight jighead did you end up using for the best results?

[chex]

1oz was working most of the time, with 6" plastics. I went up to 1.5oz when I switched to 10" BKDs. Any lighter and your lure gets taken by the current.

Nice job!!!

[Goody]

Good job there!!! Those are some nice fatties.

During catch n release does anybody use barbless hooks? I saw an ad in my work wanted ads for big bullet style Jighead's with replaceable hooks. Do they sound useful for cheasapeak fishing or unnecessary?

[chex]

I believe that if you're trolling, you must use barbless hooks during the C&R season.

As far a big bullet style jig heads with replaceable hooks: If they're as big as I think they are, you probably wont get much use out them from a kayak. And when you do, you'll probably lose a few, so the replaceable hook turns into a replaceable jig. But hey, if you like it get it, especially if you'll be fishing in deep water with strong current. I have a few (not with replaceable hooks though), and I rarely use them. Too heavy.
