Thanksgiving Weekend Trips

Mate in Training Grant

I had two really good trips over the Thanksgiving Day weekend.  On Saturday, the weather was absolutely beautiful and the fishing was fast.  We headed out to the bay early and found the fish quickly.   Once we found the school of fish that we were looking for, we got our lines out & trolled through twice & picked up the majority of our limit within 20 minutes.

For the next couple hours we trolled around picking up a fish or two sporadically.

 

Once the tide changed, the fish came up on top, and we managed to catch the rest of our fish casting. 

Sunday's weather wasn't quite as good as Saturday, but the fishing was still good.  We left the dock this morning in the rain & fog and ran out using radar to find our location and also birds working on bait.  

After running out in the bay, we found fish close to where we left them on Saturday, but unfortunately they were mostly below the minimum size limit, so we continued north into Maryland waters where we managed to catch a good number of bass.

When this school of fish settled out, we finished the day casting into large groups of "schoolie" size fish. 

If you, or someone that you know would like to make a trip into the Chesapeake Bay to take advantage of the good fishing that we have now, I still have several weekend dates open before December 31st.  Give me a call at 804-436-3241, or email me at southerntideguideservice@gmail.com to book your date.
