Pacemaker Fishing Forum

And just like that, August is over.

I wanted to take George over to Chesapeake Beach but E winds scared me off so on went to Truxtun Park.

The forecasts were all over the place, rain starting at noon, 2pm blah blah blah. What they did get right was the ESE winds which made the ride up and back *especially) a little sporty. The washing machine was active for sure.

Even though I knew the wall at the towers would be flat calm, we decided to ride all the way back to Brewer Pond since the tide was still up and I could get in easily enough without getting clogged up with grass.

George scored 1st!



And then . he had caught 6-7 of 'em, I followed suit!



We did well in Brewer but not like the old days. No bib boys around. George caught a 10"er in here.



The tide was coming out and the rain was acomin' so we went down to Martin's Pond.

Interestingly, where John did especially well between the trees and docks, we only caught a few. I was disappointed.

We then went to the rock point and caught a few but still very few were biting.

George looked up and saw a bait ball and immediately threw at it and got rewarded.



That was fun on the UL.

We went to the back of the creek and picked off a few here and there but still slow (in my opinion).

Then I told George we would work and area that John and I hit but caught few...

Not this time! We had many doubles and at one time we had 3 doubles in a row. It was on! And then it started to rain but just lightly. But we put on our rain jackets just in case.

George got the biggest at  10.5"!



Lots of fish were caught on this shoreline.

All told, I believe we were over 100.

The wind was picking up, more rain clouds were coming so we decided to run back to Spa Creek and finish there.

Oh yeah, while running in the Severn, we sucked in some floating grass  so George was clearing it when DNR. Came by. He asked if we were OK and I told him yes. Then we chatted as he ran my numbers and asked how the perch fishing was. Nice guy and glad he came by although we didn't really need assistance.

Man, did we get wet while running back! And it was not from the rain. It was very sporty

We decided to call it a day but the boat was salt soaked so we left the cover off so that the rain could wash it off on the way home.

Once we stowed everything away, George brought out the homemade sammies (turkey, spiral ham, Swiss cheese and his condiment goodies). That sammie hit the spot!



Long ride home as we encountered 3-4 accidents on the drive back.

But we had a great day of perch fishing!
