  • Shipping Creek Duo

    Sunday.

    Today’s fishing adventure is brought to you by a Sprinkle. Apparently, when a woman has her second child, the party is called a “Sprinkle.” And they invite kids. I call it a chance to fish.

    I arrived at the Shipping Creek and chatted with a boat pulling in to the dock. They were out for hours and didn’t mark a fish or see any birds.
    I spent two hours out on the water. Two hours, two fish, each about 20 inches. Trolling a blue-backed xrap and a BKD. Both fish on the xrap. The key was finding the correct depth---about 11 feet.

    Fish were released quickly and not really worthy of taking pictures. Resident males Im sure.

    Sprinkle? Figures someone would have to name it. Pretty sure I'd rather dig treble hooks out of my hand than attend. Glad you were able to dodge the bullet and get in some fishing time.

    Interesting that they hit the xrap. I've found that seems to be the preference early in the spring. Wonder why?
