I had the day off on friday so hit up the bay bridge for some jiggin, trolling and even soaking some bloods. Too bad when I got there, I realized I forgot basically all my tackle! Fortunately, I still had some parachutes and a wood plug from a couple weeks ago in the hatch, so the day wasn’t lost. Of course I wanted to sleep in so I didn’t get on the water until 11AM with an outgoing tide. I trolled the east side of the main span, zig zagin between the two spand and even went north and found the sewer pipe. Marked tons of fish and schools of bait on the fish finder but only one 12lb, 30 incher wanted to play. I was stopped twice by DNR. The first Officers checked my license and asked to see my lures to make sure the barbs were crushed and check if I had the necessary safety equipment. The second Officers just wanted to make sure fishermen were aware of the new regulations, being no stinger/trailing hooks, crushing your barbs, and NOAA card. Both were intrigued that I was fishing from a kayak. lol They were cool and I’m glad they are out patrolling. Anyways, I was off the water by 3pm.
Saturday Grilled Sardine and I hit up the bay bridge. on the water around 930am. I trolled and threw lures at the pilling and only caught a dink which had a growth on it’s eye. i ended up going to the sewer pipe to through some lures and during that time, grilled sardine landed a 42+ trolling a 6oz chute. bastard.
Sunday I was planning on going to SPSP by myself with the yak and soak bloods after doing the mom easter thing. Well, plans changed as my girlfriend was on the eastern shore and she wanted to go fishing so we met at spsp around 330 and had lines soaking by 4. Damn dinks wouldn’t even give me a shot. I would either hook up with dinks or they would take my bait. I only had one bag of bloods which lasted less than 2 hours. I tried some fishbites but the dinks didnt even want those so we packed it up at 7.
I did see a bunch of fish caught on the point.
