Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Yesterday morning, Mo and I launched in Spa Creek at 5:30 am to explore for white perch and pickerel. As we motored out of the creek, Mo was in awe of the incredible yachts moored along the way. It is difficult to say which is more magnificent, the yachts or the homes.

After we were able to regain our senses, we traveled up-river to Weems Creek.  Mo had never caught pickerel, so my goal was to see that he would catch one on UL. As soon as we stopped, and he made a few casts, he yelled "I have a rockfish!." I knew it was most likely a pickerel because of where we were fishing. Those pickerel lie outside the grass and ambush anything that swims by. Most of the pickerel in this creek seem to be between sixteen and twenty-two inches. This one was on the lower end of this scale. He is now looking for a larger one for the wall in his, soon to be built, "Man"s Room."

He has really done well in his first year of collecting specimens. He has a nice LMB and the largest WP that I have seen at 13.5 inches. My friend Chris Douglas at Outback Taxidermy, has done the mounts.

As I have said in previous entries, Dr. Mo is limited to a half day of fishing on Wednesday. He actually has a full time practice. We caught quality WP, one more pickerel, and a small rockfish. We left at 11:00 am. I believe Mo has a new favorite place. He was on the phone, talking to the real estate people, as we pulled away from the ramp!
