  • catfish 4-1

    went to Bushwood wharf to see if the hard head rumors were true, didnt catch any and regulars said they arnt there yet but nice wp and blue cats were so we set up and started fishing i had some bw and alewife left over so thats what i used. other baits were earthworms and carolina mediums (shrimp) from the wharf in DC. The shrimp did well and bw caught a few but the bunker out caught the others 5 to1. i was dropping a 3oz sinker with bunker out by some crab pots and loading up with 18-24" blue cats i wasnt keeping any so i was loading up the other guys coolers, im glad they are an invasive species. good looking fish too. looks like a good place to launch from with a good ramp and deep water close by

    GS that airwave worked well with 3oz sinkers and 6 lbs cats

        Nice cat, but your friend is going to have the big fish fry

        Hey, when are you going to Hog Point for lunker rocks? Last Spring I was going for rocks with bws but ended up with a lot of croakers. I had to endure the rain and thunder that evening.

          Nice work on the cats, John, and thanks for the intel. I've launched there a few times in an attempt to find yellow perch staging before the run. I didn't have any luck, but it is a nice place to launch. It's easy to see why that pier is so productive because the depth drops off within casting distance. However, once you leave that area, the bottom is pretty featureless until you get out to the deeper hole by one of the buoys.

            toward the main channel the depth drops from @ 25' to close to 50' off the end of the pier its @ 11' deep

            tuff, 4/21/12 im not going to bother with the yak since every year the weather sucks. last year quite a few larger rock and a 24" flounder came ashore on the 17th
