Piney Point was dandy

[Big Mike]

Absolutely stunning morning at Piney Point for late October. Virtually no wind and 65 degree air temp at 7AM. Threw out my 4” paddle tail in pearl and chartreuse and headed towards a favorite flat. Didn’t take long before I had my rod bent and the reel telling me this was no schoolie. I was surprised that it was only a 19” fish, fought much much bigger. Next one was a 24”. And so it went for the next 45 minutes, just drag burning fun. Before they left I had 6 over 20” and another 6 or so in high teens.

Headed off to the “chimney” area as the tide neared low. Picked up 3 more random fish and a nice perch. By then it was dead low and no current so called it a morning. I was greeted by DNR back at the ramp and once he knew I was C&R it was more a discussion about lures and spots, I think I probably spot burned.

My kind of football.

Nice going Mike. I am trying to find some time from work to do some CR on the rockfish.

Good to hear that Piney Point produced well for you. In my two visits to that area this summer, I did not have much success. I guess your local knowledge helps too.

Nice Mike. Been following the threads, will contribute a report shortly. Up late due to the Nats.

Yep, local knowledge of the areas, trolling speed for the optimal action of a 4 inch Bass Assassin on a 1/4 oz Jighead and the subtle features of our “flats” that make certain areas of them produce while other folks troll right beside you without a bump...and sometimes it is just the way you hold your mouth that catches fish...luck favors the prepared...
