You can only keep fishermen shut up indoors so long. Eventually, they have to come out, take a look around, and head to their favorite local streams. And so it was with Bob Glass and Randy Conkle, who decided to try their luck this past Sunday for the first time this year. They went to West Neck Marina, where, even though the bite was slow, they managed to squeeze out six bites and three fish, one of which was a bowfin (didn't waste their time or a good camera on taking a picture of this "toothy critter").
Here's Randy with his Sunday bass...
Bob tells me he hit the water again yesterday (Monday), and in 1.5 hours boated two more nice bass--one a 4 pounder and the other maybe a 2 pounder. "The bite yesterday was pretty good," explained Bob, adding that he would have stayed longer, "but the wind switched to the northeast and ran me off the water."
Bob's fish both days came while pitching a blue-fleck worm. Randy's fish on Sunday fell for a senko.
I applaud both of you on deciding to take the bull by the horns and shake off all that winter rust and for putting some fish in the boat. With any luck, this weather is going to get straight here one day soon so everyone can get back on the water.
As the water warms, be sure to keep those pictures and reports coming.
