I had the pleasure of fishing with my Uncle, girlfriend, and cousin Saturday morning. My uncle just purchased a kayak (if you remember my thread about him looking) and wanted to go out and try to catch some rockfish. Unfortunately, the trip conflicted with the M&G at Mattawoman and in hind sight I wish I would have just taken the gang there. Oh well we found a few fish and had a nice time till it got smoking hot.
We fished a lump in the middle of the river while the current was running, it stopped almost as soon as we got there and all we caught were some micro croaker and a few catfish. We saw some schools of peanut bunker getting harassed and tried chasing them around for a little bit. I think it may have been perch or something small attacking them because we never had a hit. Saw tons of rays, but no hookups. We paddled back to the bridge to fish the incoming current around the pilings. I got one 22" rock on a chrome/blueback rattle trap and then a bunch of smaller rock and perch on a 5" BA. I do not know what the perch were thinking trying to eat something that big but it was pretty entertaining. Everyone caught fish at the bridge and my uncle caught a few rockfish to slime his boat for the first time. All in all it was a great morning and we got some ribs on the way back from a place on the side of 301. Texas something? They were absolutely incredible. I can't wait to go back!
