Fishing Friday




My friend Bob and I went fishing on Wednesday. We took the S.S. Minnow out into the bay to try and find some stripers. I have been wanting to catch a striper on a fly for a very long time. Each time in the past something always went wrong. It would be too windy to fly fish or I would forget the flies I needed. This time it all went well. It was a beautiful day. I motored over to Bloody Point Lighthouse and started casting to the base of the lighthouse and letting the fly sink before I started pulling the fly back to me. I caught a couple of nice white perch before I caught this little striper. It wasn't big enough to keep, but it was a beautiful first for me. Bob caught a couple of stripers on lures before he caught these Z's. It was a great day on the water.

Wow...Bob looks comfy. I would love to take a trip out on your boat. I guess I would have to come visit first. :D

monster striper!
Just browsing some blogs and ran across yours. I'm at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD. right now and the stripers are starting to run pretty good.
