My office decided to give us an extended holiday closing Thursday and Friday in addition to the 4th. Well I took advantage of it; chasing snakes on Thursday and perch, cats and stripers on Friday.
Thursday morning, I left the house well before the sun came up and headed for blackwater. I had my most productive snakehead fishing trip ever numbers and bites wise. I also just squeaked by my previous PB by 1/2" and caught my smallest ever at 14"! I had at least 4 fish rocket out of the water and throw the hook and a bunch of others that never came tight. I was getting so many bites that at a point I was almost not upset losing fish. I was just enjoying the acrobatics. When the day was done, I had brought 5 to the net. All bites on the day came on Texas rigged zman paddlerz in Redfish toad color with a 1/16 bullet weight.
Friday morning, I dropped my boys off at daycare and made the short drive to ft armistead. I decided to keep it simple fishing ultra light only with gulp minnows on road runner jighead's. Within 45 minutes I had already completed the patapsco slam; scoring a catfish and striper both over 20" and an 11" perch. The rest of the morning I hooked into several more cats one baby striper and many many perch. Another great trip!![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180707/3b5f7125ea4ca5aad04da00d3aacdf78.jpg)
