  • Lower/Slower Thursday Evening-Rock n' Blue

    Launched in the upper St. Mary's with the incoming tide around 1700 with a buddy, encountered a bit of westerly wind and got a bit wet. Headed down river, trolling a white 1/2 oz. bucktail/green grub and a 1/2 oz. white jig head/chartreuse paddle tail. Stayed on the west bank down river, crossed over above the mouth of St. Inigoes and made a pass at the mouth of St. Inigoes and trolled the east bank all the way back to the launch and pulled out at around 1930. Hooked up with six rock in the 12"-18" range along some ledges and crossing points. All were health and the large ones had some heft-as much heft as a 1"-18" rock can. Cast to a few grass banks, at around sunset. No joy. The surprise of the evening, for me, was a 16" blue (released) a few moments after sunset as I was headed in. I believe my buddy ended up hooking up with about four rock in the 12"-17" range, all health. We covered a little over six miles tonight and I suspect I'm going to be sore tomorrow, but hopefully will be able recover and fish this weekend!!! KIMG1092.jpg

    Sidenote-what VHF channel are you guys on down here if I ever get out of work and make it to a M&G?

    Vietnam, we are on 68 when we're out. Unless I'm on high power I think my hand held has maybe 3/4-1 mile range. If there's land between us forget it. Good report.

      Funny association of words in the post...September of 1968...I was in Vietnam...one of the hottest, wettest places on Earth during the monsoon, then hot and drier than a popcorn fart during the dry season...but always hot...

        The Blues seem to love that stretch of water right there at ST Inigoes! They wore me out last week, I got two about that size, the rest bit-me-off and mangled my gear for about an hour LOL

        Good report and good fishing

                Until the wind gets up and the chop slows you down- Big Mike and I fished Friday and got two hours in when the winds kicked in- going against the wind and tide with lots of chop was wet and exhausting- that strictly is a young man's game
