Getting out Tomorrow to Chapel Point

[clm]

Looking forward to tomorrow morning. My hobie is up blocks waiting for the plastic weld kit to arrive, so I'm taking my big purple tandem emotion yak out tomorrow with my buddy. He has only been fishing about 3 times. His largest catch to date is a 6 inch bream. Hoping to get him on some blue cats tomorrow. I was ready for Saturday on Monday this week. In the final stretch now. I picked this lures up last night at Dicks. I'm hoping to catch some LMB and some snakeheads this year at Mattawoman. From talking to you guys on here and reading the tons of posts, it seems like these types of lures are the way to go. I've mostly thrown various types of spinners and some of the pre-hooks swim tail minnows and plastics. Seems that these are more cost effective.

Those should work fine. Rig them weedless and weightless with a 3/O hook and sling them into the gaps of the weeds. Crawl them over pads like a frog, etc. When the tide is going out, present it in ambush areas near where the current is flowing out of the weeds.

Thank you Sir.

Been out to Chapel Point a couple times this year and have recently gotten into the cats fairly good there. One thing is that there is a commercial net crossing the deepest part of the channel and has been up for over a month now. Definitely impacting the cat fishing there... :-(

Had a good trip. Absolutely no fish to show for it, but a good trip anyway. Took my emotion tandem so my buddy could join me. He has never been in a yak. We soaked some stinky bait up and down the area. Nothing. Lots of eagles to watch though. He loved it. Said he will be picking up a yak of his own soon. Good paddle for me. I felt more like a guide. Took him all around the banks trying to find any thing that was hungry. Flipping spinners and swimming minnows. I know now to check the tides before hand. First time to chapel point and getting skunked. Great to be out though.
