Monday, Feb. 12 (from Ron)...Fished North Landing in search of panfish, but didn't find any. Couldn't find any largemouth in my usual hot spot, either. Had to settle for some pole-bender
striped bass. Caught four of them, with two reaching the 18-inch mark. They gave a
great fight, even the smaller ones. 'Twas a bit breezy, with light rain and temps in the upper 30s. Great evening!
Wednesday, Feb. 14 (from Ron)...Didn't notice anything different at the Pungo Ferry launch, but it is nice and convenient. Fished Albright's, and the water was surprisingly clear and a bit low. Lost one,
caught a dink and a white perch. Not a total waste of time. Marked a lot of
bait. Always nice to be out.
Thursday, Feb. 15 (from Ron)...Fished Milldam Creek from about 4 until dark. Marked a bunch of baitfish in the
main creek but nothing in the feeder creeks. It was in the feeder creeks, right
up against the shore in the shallows, that I found four bass: a 1-1, 1-2, 1-14 and a 2-5. Didn't get any hits trolling. My lure of choice
was the XTS Minnow, as it runs so shallow (1 foot max). Surprisingly, no panfish
or chain pickerel. Was really nice to be out without hat and gloves.
