Alright....here's the actual report. Hehe.

Started of at sunrise somewhere south the Bay Bridge and north of Chesapeake Beach, that's the only details to the location I'm going to post.

Very foggy when we launched.


Got a baby striped perch witin casting distance of the shore.


As soon as I got to some 10-12' water I landed my first keeper at 20 1/2":


A few minutes later I got my personal best at 28+":




Had my limit of Rock less than 25 minutes after getting on the water, both caught on 1/2 oz jig with 4" paddle tail.

There are some small bluefish in the area, only in the 11-12" range from what we got on the hooks:


Heard some radio chatter of a boat landing a Spanish Mackerel, then more radio chatter of a kayaker catching a "huge" spaniard, and a little while later some masked man got one too:


Hopefully this means more keeper size fish are showing up in the pattern(s) we had last year.

Both of the kayak caught Spanish Mac were citation fish, one at 22+" the other at 25+".

It wasn't looking good in the beginning and I had one of those feelings that it was going to be a skunk day. I could only catch a few dings in the early hours. Later on that all turned around and I caught these. 3 Blues, 21 striper and 25 1/4" Spanish Mac. No photos on the water. Lost my waterproof phone case somewhere. Oh, I also caught and landed a crab but no photo.

Nice report guy's I think I recognize the fog bank in those pictures. Your spot is burnt.
Where were those fish last Saturday ?
I have caught keepers that would have won the CBKA tourney fishing the same spots that I did for the tourney.
Looks both of you did too.
My week since the tourney. 13" perch 26" striper and an 18" blue
Just my luck I am always a day late

IMG_20150920_194943_672.jpg it was a spotty day for fish. Decent blues n small stripers, then at 1230 bang a Spanish! Mid day and on the way back to load up. Smoked the fish for 3 hours with apple wood chips. I was the masked fish bandit

I knew I posted to much detail. DOH!!!

I was hoping for better catching at CBKA this year also. Last year I got seasick and cut my fishing short. This year I was good to go, and the threatening weather pushed me off the water, after we got a good soaking from the rain.
