Sunday I fished with Isaac at the pond by his house. He caught a crappie, me zip.

Yesterday I fished on the Patuxent River for rockfish, again zip.

Today while full of doubt and low self esteem I fished the mouth of Mill Creek and directly in front of the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory. Catching 27 schoolies rockfish with two keepers in the mix. A 19” and 20”. I released all fish. I caught them by trolling and jigging then up. I used a 1/4 oz jig with a 4” white paddle tail and a 1/2 oz jig with a 5” purple grub.

My self esteem restored.

Smithville and Tuckahoe lake fishing

I headed over to the eastern shore to fish two of the Millponds. I fished Smithville and Tuckahoe lakes.

When I arrived at Smithville there were five power boats (bass boats, jon boats) and four kayaks.

That blew my day of having the lake to myself but I launched my kayak nonetheless. I fished for two hours catching a 20 1/2” largemouth bass and a pickerel too.

Being that the lake isn’t the biggest And I felt crowded I loaded up and headed to Tuckahoe State Park. There I shared the lake with two bass boats and six kayaks and a canoe. I stayed for two hours there as well. Catching a largemouth bass and a pickerel there too.

All fish were caught on a jig with a four inch paddle tail.

It was a fun day of catch and release.
