Breaking camp in the AM |
The next morning we fished the incoming tide from about 6 to 10 AM.
Ospery |
I had a nice sized bass (about 24") on a rip-tide paddletale and jig-head pretty soon after starting in oyster creek channel. It hit in tight along the bank. It was in and out of the boat before a picture could be taken. Such is the way of the kayak. Unfortunately, the boat traffic was SO heavy as it was Saturday morning (a time I almost never fish) that I headed directly into Horse-foot while Perchman gave another pass at the deep water of the channel with his eel friend.
In Horse-foot I had some action on my Zara Spook but it didn't stay tight.
I snuck into snake ditch and had consistent action for about an hour.
First a bass:
Then a blue killed my only white Rip Tide paddle tail:
So I switched to a Storm Shad:
And that's pretty much it:
So, here's some other crap I was thinking of writing about. These things are relevant and important, and someday they will warrant complete sentences, structure, and clarity, but for now I leave you with a list.
Gnats - poor kids had to leave after ten minutes of fishing because they were in shorts and T-shirts.
Lightning - stay close to shore, maybe it will pass
Tiny beers - the same as big beers, you just have to drink more of them
Rip tide - pretty much as good as bass assassins (in a pinch)
King diamond - not quite as good as Led Zeppelin
Incoming - when fish are caught in snake ditch
Flying cars - soon to be a reality
Ocean acidification due to pollution - will be the end of us all! But there will still be a party at the restaurant at the end of the universe, so long and thanks for all of the fish

Steve and I fishing along shore in Snake Ditch |
First a bass:
Striped Bass and Riptide lure |
Then a blue killed my only white Rip Tide paddle tail:
Blue fish and ruined Riptide lure |
So I switched to a Storm Shad:
