BIG cats at bushwood (thanks surfdog)

[tufnik]

Kevin,
From the beltway, I'll be driving south on Rt 5. Is there a bait shop along the way where I can get bws and bunker? Or do I need to go Rt 4 to get to Tackle Box?

[kevinfry]

It seems every gas station sells bloodworms around here. Look at the mini marts along the way. As for Bunker, Ronault lives in Waldorf. I am not certain where he gets them though

[chex]

Nice cats kevinfry... you make we wanna go get some

I wonder if they'll eat gulp worms.

Next time I'm out, I will prepare a feast for those cats. I'll catch a little perch, and then stuff it with worms, gulp and some bunker. Thanksgiving for kitties.

And then when I catch that big cat, I'll stuff HIM with like onions, carrots and a turkey. MMMMMMmmmmmMMmmm

Fred's Sport's in Waldorf has them and so does the Tackle Box in Lexington Park

[kevinfry]

frsh bunker at the tacklebox?? Really? Anyway Tufnik, seems to me that Fred's in waldorf would be more on your way.

Frozen Bunker and it works fine- I use it all the time, Kevin- I doubt you can find any fresh bunker unless you are throwing a net along the coast at VA Beach or Nags Head- bunker should be coming in the Bay soon

Excellent! I like the pics, especially the one where the fish is flipping its tail. That big cat looks like a shark in the water.

You took the words right out of my mouth Bill. Great picks of those cats. Almost artistic.....

[moc]

Good work! Bushwood, here I come

I am right behind you Tufnik!

So who is going to the Bush on Saturday? I sprained my ankle earlier in the week. The way it feels right now, I will rest it until Sat. I just finished my taxes and may be in the mood for some pullage. Here is the latest weather forecast for bushwood....

Friday: Sunny, with a high near 57. North wind between 11 and 16 mph.

Friday Night: Clear, with a low around 38. North wind around 8 mph.

Saturday: Sunny, with a high near 63. North wind between 9 and 15 mph.

Saturday Night: Clear, with a low around 40. North wind around 7 mph.

Looks like the winds will die down in the afternoon.

[tufnik]

The winds will be too high, so I will not go to CBBT/Kipto Saturday.

Good, will get some frozen bunker from Fred's early Saturday morning.

The winds will be out of the north, but I think that's OK because the Cove seems protected.

See you out there, moc, and anyone else who yearns for cat pullage

Here is where I fished and caught Monday. I will not be fishing this week end as I celebrate Easter with my family.
I have included a map here of where I fished. Nothing special except when I was beyond the crab pots I did not have a bite. Inside the first line of pots I started catching them. I imagine anywhere in the cove at that depth would do fine, though I did see a boat fishing the same spot when I drove by Wednesday.

If anyone wants really fresh menhaden ( bunker), and is willing to drive to Annapolis, you can get them fresh-caught from Leo James at LJ's Marina. It is located next to Cantler's Seafood restaurant.

I bought 4 menhaden from Leo last Friday for just $3. He had caught them earlier that morning. They looked and smelled fresh. That is the good part of the story.

When I used them at Mattawoman last Sat, I could not buy a catfish bite. Rockchaser and Moc were catching cats but I did not get a single one. To add insult to injury, I gave some of my bunker to Rockchaser, and he proceeded to catch several cats on that bait. I guess I need more practice.

[tufnik]

Thanks for pic. Will try that area, Kevin. Suppose to be a 15+ mph NNW wind tomorrow, which will hit the spot you fished. To avoid it, I may fish north of the ramp along the shore.

I wouldn't mind getting some fresh bunker, but to save time, will try Fred's Sport in Waldorf because it's right along the way. Odd, it's called, "Fred's Sport and Furniture." Open's at 8 am, Sat. Was hoping for an earlier open.

If they don't have bunker, what's the next best thing? Spot? Herring?

[MetroMan]

I'll be there tomorrow morning.
