I really enjoyed T's layed back style and his company on the last day.

But did he tell you how fast he goes on his bike?

I drove 5.5 hours down from NJ on Saturday after some motorcycle races in order to be there.  I'm glad I came down.  It was great to finally meet Mike and then to fish with him on Monday.   I went out Sunday morning with Steve B. and we headed up the Dragon.  At our first stop he said we'd be able to catch some bowfin.   After just a few casts of a white spinnerbait I had one on, my first ever.  I let that one shake off at the side of the boat.   We both caught several here before heading further up and forking to the left.  I like catching these except for the mangled spinner bait part.  I lost that spinnerbait to something else when my swivel broke at the barrel.   

In the narrow fork Steve started catching some small LMB.  At the furthest point we went I briefly had a good LMB on senko.  Then I pulled in a sub-12" one before Steve got one that may have been the one I missed.    Crossing over to the other fork we got into some more bowfin.  I caught one and had a big one follow the spinnerbait to the side of boat and nipping at it.   On the way out I got another hard hit and thought it was a bowfin.  Turned out to be a feisty striper, 14-16".   I finished the day with my first ever drum and a spot.

Nice!

Mustafa- I was told that you were "hooked" on salty water!

Good times are always had on Capt. Mike's boat(s)!

I'm still new to fishing, so I would love the opportunity to keep learning... So if anyone is going out for some salt water fishing and would like some company, I would be interested to come along!

If the weather is good I'll probably do some salty kayak fishing in Ocean City this coming weekend. I might have an empty kayak too.

Wow bro!  Thank you so much for your generosity!

Unfortunately I may be booked this weekend. I'm headed to Pohick bay on Saturday with a friend to try our hand at (as Capt.  Mike calls them)  Potomac Pike.  Then the following day I'm  probably going to my in laws. Which day were you planning on going? In case my plans change for Sunday.

If not this time, I would totally be up for the next opportunity!!

Thanks again Travis!

I got a three day weekend, so if all three days are looking good I'm heading to OC early Saturday morning and back Monday afternoon.  Staying at 2nd home my dad has out there.  If the weather is not so good Sat/Sun but good on Monday, then I may end up at the racetrack on Monday.
