Fishinggod and myself launched shortly after the park opened at 6. We were met by a brisk SW wind making the Potomac side choppy outside the inlet so we elected to stay inside the inlet and to try Lake Conoy. We picked up a few small rockfish and Rich caught this lizard fish (blame the photographer, not the fisherman for showing you just the belly) in the inlet. I cruised the lake for quite some time looking for tailing fish and throwing a popping rig, but really saw nothing other than a couple of bait fish and turtles. Rich saw a couple of small tailers, but no takers. We went back to the inlet and ran into Ken Kayak who had 4 rods down on the school of small rocks in the inlet.The wind had died considerably and the Potomac was flattening out. I picked up a couple as well but went off to a "secret" spot I'd been told about that held big fish. The secret is safe, no fish were in the spot. It was around 9:30 when the tide had basically gone slack so Rich and I called it a day. Don't know how Ken made out after us.
This was my first time fishing PLO and I could see going back at high tide to fish the lake for trout and drum. I felt like there are much better places in St Mary's for targeting rockfish that don't require driving to the end of the state.
