Upper Bay Perchin' Sun-Mon
Me and the missus had an overnighter on one of the boats Sunday-Monday. We launched from Bodkin Creek in Pasadena with a plan to go up to explore Baltimore's Inner Harbor and to catch a Heart concert at Pier Six. They always put on a great show. Reserved a transient slip at Baltimore Inner Harbor Marine Center. Very nice facility. Kinda cool going by boat...
But before heading up river on Sunday did some bottom bouncing in the knoll areas. And then again on Monday on the way back! Couldn't keep the white perch off the hook. (Gulps & fishbites. I'm done messing with bloodworms!) Some real nice ones too, up to 10". Pretty good pullage on light tackle. The spot were there as well but couldn't find any croaker. I would have thought with the dry summer we'd see plenty of them in this area by now. Ah fishing... :-)

Nice John.....nothing like WP on LT!
You know, the stripers kinda lure us in but he croaker are much better fighters. Since we don't have many puppy drum around here, we should be chasin' their cousins for some LT pullage!

Agree regarding WP on light tackle. Had a couple pullin' drag! Also on the croaker. I love stripers but since moving to this area and discovering croaker they do put up a great fight on the right tackle.
At it again tomorrow. My brother & family are in town. Gonna provide my 2 nephews (ages 10 & 13) their first taste of the Chesapeake!

You know the answer to that one.....if I sell her, another boat will take her place!
My garage is 1/2 for my fishing stuff and 1/2 for Debbie's car....no room there!

Re: Upper Bay Perchin' Sun-Mon
Nice work John! I'm hoping to go out and make another croaker focused trip soon. They really do put up a great fight on light tackle. My tentative plan for the M&G is to liveline, catch a decent fish for entry into the contest and then head further up and bottom bounce for croaker/possible flounder. We'll see though, the rock were pretty engaging!
