We’ve got a gale warning rolling in tomorrow afternoon, but today it was absolutely gorgeous. I had the opportunity to head to the Wicomico River with my buddy CL Marshall from Tangier Sound Charters and we absolutely murdered the big white perch. It should make for a great new episode of Hooked on OC in a couple of weeks. I got a couple texts and emails today while we were out and it was a fishy day.

Captain Kane Bounds and the crew of the Fish Bound were enjoying today’s nice weather and they had some very, very good tog fishing in the ocean. Pat Scida had the big fish of the day with his personal best tog of over 18 pounds. Harris had his personal best as well at 14 pounds and the the guys added five more double digit fish for a total of 7. They released 6 of those DD fish and boxed their three man limit to round out a great day.

Dennis Kaler got his new trolling motor installed this weekend and while he was out testing it out today he decided to make a couple of drops at Martha’s Landing where he caught and released three tautog for the first fish I’ve seen in the bay this season.
