NEW REPORT


Trolling Success


Type: Chesapeake


Region: North Central


Location: Mouth of Patapsco River


While I normally fish the Susquehanna flats with my uncle, I was invited to fish with my friends Greg and Matt Ferenschak on Wednesday evening - 10/19/11. While we have all fished together before, we have not had much success, this all changed last night. Matt and Greg had been experimenting with trolling and I was there to learn. Using a lead head with a sassy shad and a husky jerk as well as rattle traps, we started off trolling 4 then 6 lines, but with no luck. We then moved around the Key Bridge and had two rock strike at the same time. Greg was able to reel in a 22 inch while Matt brought in a nice 19 inch. A while passed and I was able to bring in a 24 inch. We had a few smalls as well. You could not have asked for a nicer evening on the water and each of us catching a keeper was icing on the cake.

Rockin' Summer into Fall

Here are some pictures of some of the Rockfish caught on the Why Knot? in the Patapsco River.  Greg and Mike limited out on topwater action at dusk while once October hit light tackle trolling was the ticket to some keepers.  Noah had fun too helping bring in a 15 inch "Sam" the Rockfish.
