Went out after church with Basil. It was such good weather we just had to get out. Left the dock around 1 pm and just dropped down two spoons at the end of the creek into the Great Wiccomico. Trolled up around the turn bouy and got the first Blue. It was so much weekend boat traffic we went out towards 1 GW, didn’t catch or see much in the deeper water. Tooled around to the green can out towards the asphalt pile but again nothing. Finally, as it got later we came back into the river where we knew the fish were at and grabbed about 8 in total. We kept two just for dinner and called it a day.
It was such a laid back day I forgot to record the water temp but it has certainly cooled down a bit. I did set out the new rigs and boy did they work well. It is really hard to talk about the difference the rod and reels made.
Another thing we did was stop the boat when we got a hookup, our friend Dave has done it for a while and I do think it is a better technique. I was concerned about the other rod and just letting it sink but it did fine and no issues, it set itself back as soon as we got up to speed.
Basil did catch what could be the smallest Spanish in history.
