Fishing on the Chesapeake

Boy's Day Out

The boys got a day out on the Chesapeake on the Devil Heels fishing boat. After 5-7 inches of rain in the prior week, there were parts of the Bay that were a mine-field of navigation hazards, but Captain Doug kept the boat clear. After getting to the Bay Bridge, we threw in some lines in a reasonably good current and caught 15-20 perch using blood worms. Fishing was easy ... at times we would even get two fist on one cast.

We managed not to lose any fishing lines until the last cast of the day. I caught a perch ... but on the way up ... something bigger ate the perch and got hooked. After a one minute struggle, the line snapped ... damn.

Jeff was a solid fisherman ... his early success kept us from giving up and gave Uncle Z something to show off.


After fishing we headed into Annapolis to cruise ego alley.
