I currently reside on Ferry Point near Annapolis MD and fish the South River from the headwaters to the landmark Thomas Point Lighthouse. i prefer to fish in 3 foot of water or less and throw topwater plugs. Most nights the action is non stop with small resident striped bass under 18 inches. Throughout the spring and fall it is quite possible that your night will include a mid 20 to 32 inch migratory fish. I never keep fish, just pictures and this blog.

I need my boat back
Donna is in Charleston picking up Katie. I hit the beach right after work. Got down about 4.15 and fished till 5.30. Same steady wind like the past few days. Blowing east and really churning up the water. Very little clarity. Picked up one WP who actually put up a fight. Plugged for most of the time. At 6 I headed over to the big Battle Lax game at Navy stadium for the Girls Severn vs St. Marys game. Severn won 7-6 great game. Grace was dropped off at the game. She won 7-6 against McDonough. She scored winning goal and got game ball. Figured I would chill and watch the Wiz game 4, when I read email from Mitch that he caught a 28 incher at my spot...Dang it. No way to get there with boat being painted....so back down to beach. The water has really laid down by now. Its a perfect topwater night to top off a nice night. Had the feeling, but NADA. I may have to drag myself out of bed for sunrise...nah.

First Slam
Fished from the beach from 10:30 am till about 1. At 12.30 I finally got a nice slam on Topwater Chugbug. Missed it but wow what a rush. I have been throwing TW about 1/2 the casts for past 3 weeks. Did not think it would ever happen. One Wp was all else. Wind was blowing downriver. It was overcast and about 60. Nice topwater day.
Headed back down at 3 for an hour and half. Nothing. Helped Tom Kerley launch boat.
Looks like my Topwater assault needs to be stepped up.

Where are the Stripers?

Come on Stripers
I have not posted in a few days, mainly due to the fact that that I have not caught anything. Been fishing alot, but am pig headed enough to stay exclusively with top water. Been working both sides of the point. Not a swirl in sight. Oh well. Opening say is Saturday. I plan to stick with the river. Never know...one of those big cows could take a wrong turn. Not likely, but WHAT IF.

Fill her Up
Finally found an open gas station and filled the boat up. This allowed me to fish a number of downriver spots that I have been relutant for fear of running out of gas. Fished from about 3 to 6. Fairly calm day near 60. Tide was slack. Threw mostly topwater, but tried everything. NADA.

Moms Home
Liz and Mom returned from France tonight. Yeah. We missed them. I did manage to sneek down to boat ramp for 1/2 hour. Perfect Topwater night, but absolutely no tide movement. Seemed to be exactly low tide. Not a ripple on water and no swirls to be had. Water is real clear.

Snow Day
Day started out with snow on the ground. Fished 3 sessions at he beach and finally picked up a Wp at about 6.45pm. It was very cold and windy all day. Very little water left. I hooked into something big this evening. Had it on for 2 runs which stripped off a bit of line on the Sirrus. Caught on a rooster tail. Whatever it was made a fairly big swirl. Will never know, but if I had to guess, a large catfish or carp. Did not move fast enough to be a Striper.

RAPTOR
Donna, Cathy, and Liz in Paris. Fished from 4-5.30. Perfect topwater night, so I plugged the whole time. The highlight was when Raptor of some sort (eagle or osprey...I was trying to grab camera) swooped in from the trees behind me and attacked my plug. Talons where in full sight. Those things are fish killing machines. Luckily she did not get hooked.

Perchin
Did not post yesterday, but did fish. It was a lazy Sunday and the Wizards were not on TV, so I fished from the Marina while listening to game on boat radio. Only managed to pick up one WP.
Today was a bit better. Lizzy finally passed drivers license test, it was 72 and sunny, and I caught 3 WP from 4.30 till 6 at the beaver stump. Daredevil was the ticket. There seems to be a lot a baitfish moving in, but visibility is low. Quite breezy
