For me that day was Sat Oct. 9th even though the first day was Mon. I was working so this is the first report. I made a pact with myself to report everytime I fished regardless and this is one of the reports that did not have a big win for us but here it is regardless.
There have been loads of fish in our Whay’s creek and every “green light” has tons of fish around but I have heard of only one good Striper and that was our new neighbor Denny. He and Jennifer caught a 24 inch earlier in the week. Sharon had caught a good flounder and her dad Buddy caught a monster puppy drum (I’ll add the pic below).
Scott, Mitch, and I headed out to the 200 bridge to start our early morning run. Nothing, no hits, just nothing. Moved around to Glen’s creek then to the north side of the GW and then onto Warehouse creek. I finally picked up a nice speckle trout and Mitch added a spec and an undersized striper. Nothing really to show for our effort except laughing at all of the crazy that comes with fishing with friends. I’ll have to add wind direction to my article on 50 things that have to go right , 2, and 3 because the East and North winds are exceptionally difficult to fish and we had them both.
Finally, we went back to our Whay’s creek and just at the mouth there were a lot of birds working. We caught a bunch of speckles, flounder, snakeheads, etc. but no stripers. Anyway, a good day of fishing even if we threw everything back. The weather held out and we had a good day of fishing regardless of the fishbox.
Here is the puppy drum Buddy caught this week. Just two doors down from his house. We laugh but we often go all over the Bay and some of the very best fishing is in our backyard. Congrats Buddy, what a nice fish.
