[fish-on]

Fished PLO Saturday afternoon til about midnight. Nothing in the afternoon. Not sure of the time, but after it was dark, guy next to me catches a decent bluefish...so I think, whew...there's still some fish here. Sometime thereafter, I got a hit on one of my rods, and I figure it was a blue, but then It was pulling kinda decent, not so herky jerky like a bluefish. I decided to let my son get in on the action, I let him reel it in toward the pier (I had a hand on the rod still, just in case It pulled too hard for him). As it got closer, I noticed it was a decent size fish. As I got the rod from my son, someone said take it to the ladder. I'm thinking, I'm not heading down no ladder...lol. I took the chance and hand-line it to the pier with my friend BG. As we're doing that, my other rod has a hit, my son goes over to get it. We pull the first fish up and it was a nice 29" rockfish. Meanwhile, my son yells, I may need help over here...lol. We helped him get another rockfish 19" over the rail (which we released). My friend BG was catching some small black drum...biggest was about 13-14". Nothing much else, but my son was happy .

Awesome catch Fred. You need to bring him more often. He's your good luck charm.

What type of bait was you using to catch the rockfish

Hey Pete, I try to take him out whenever I can.

Thanks Blue Heron....I think we may have met awhile back.

That's awesome. There's nothing like being out on a pier when the crowds have cleared out and striper season is gearing up.

I used alewife. They had really fresh bait at the Tacklebox in Lexington Park.

You, Clyde and your brother or cousin, were gracious enough to let me fish with you at Matapeake a couple of times, when I was a new memeber. You all were very patient and excellent teachers, as I probably asked you a hundred questions. Your combined encouragement instilled enough confidence in me so that I was able to venture out and actually go SW fishing on my own. I have enjoyed it immensly ever since.

To this day I am still thankful and greatful for all the help you three guys gave me... so thank you once again!!

That is what it is all about.
Now you have to pass it on.
