I joined up with OV Boy (Walt) this morning for the first foray into the Patuxent River since it opened today. We left Clarks Landing at 6 and headed towards some sandbars that had produced well last year. I could not help but notice that there were 3 pound nets put in that weren't there last year. Not much happening at the sandbars, I picked up 2 croaker and a white perch but no rocks. This should turn on soon as the bait fish were everywhere around the bars with alewives fluttering on the surface constantly. We left the sandbars and went to the back of Mill Creek but nothing happening there either. So we headed up Cuckold and found a school of small rockfish off the end of a deep water pier. We picked up 3 or 4 each in about a 30 minute span. The only downer was spotting a large group of CNR in that spot as well. All in all a very enjoyable morning on the water.
In the second picture you can see the Solomon's Island bridge as a point of reference where we were
