  • 2016 Review

    2016 started out with some colder than normal water temps. The catfish bite was a wee bit off. But the water did warm up and the bite got better.


    But now it was time for crappie..They hit very well all pre-season. Good size ones too. A cold snap shut them down for a week, but we still caught a bunch of green trout.

    It warmed a bit and you can see what happens.





    And just as soon as it started it ended.. it was a good month plus. And the bite lasted till Mid May as the spawn was staggered out due to the cold snap.

    I took a trip to Key West and fished all along the way.


    Back to MD and time for some back water fishing for snakehead AKA Potomac Pike and LGMouth
    First Potomac Pike was mid June while the LGMouth never stopped hitting our top water lures.



    Had one of those rare evenings where the fish almost jumped in the boat.


    Took a break and did some cobia down in NN. ..Found some small ones on the hottest day of the year it felt like fishing on the sun....


    Next month and half chased bowfin mostly.



    In the middle of all that fun decided to go fishing with some buddies on the Northwest River and had a blast.
    Nice not to push pole the boat around all day and do some fun fishing.



    At the end of October drove down to fish Guntersville and Houma.





    Did some more catfish back in MD and it was good.


    Heading for Buxton in a week and can hardly wait that long.

    Buxton, NC? Also, do you think blue cats will still be hungry for a couple more months? I haven't fished for them in many months but I'm thinking I might want to hit up the Potomac a few times over the winter.

      I fish in the surf at Buxton NC several times a year.. heck I even catch a fish now and then. This will be my 38th year down there in the surf. Only missed my yearly trip once.
      The blue cats are chomping right now. Target depth according to a buddy is 42 feet. Choose the bottom of the tide to fish it and drift slowly. Finding a day with no wind is tough.
