Tough question..

As if I answer I ruin my best spots..

So I will riddle an answer.

at high tide
you need to limit the querys options for
concealment"

X-squeeze me?

Capt Mike

[3dkicker]

Sent you a PM.

[Captmikestarrett]

OK thanks for the heads up Smitty.

I will be speaking tonight at the NHBC meeting about the trip among things.

Gonna have a drum spot tourny again this year. You gonna try for another win?

Think we should have a prize for it...

Capt Mike

[dave]

Since beer is a staple of the outing, I guess giving it as a prize would be empty?

[3dkicker]

I'll give it a shot but I've only caught one in my lifetime so my chances are slim. I'm still waiting on that magical evening dock bite that I've heard so much about. And make sure nobody's hole jumping Smitty's Point !!! I've got a football game I have to work that Friday so I won't get there until Sat. Try and save me a bunk would ya? The couch isn't as comfortable as it looks.

A small prize that needs to be returned every year would be interesting.

Couch is gone now.. might I suggest a cot or air mattress. It looks like good sized crowd.

A prize huh.. Who won it last year?

Capt Mike

[dave]

Sorry, the nighttime dock bite is scheduled for Friday night.

I'm going to sleep in the same bed from last year. I'll fight off takers of the other in that room. Ooh, I know, I'll push them together and tell them I'm waiting for Smitty to get here.

[Captmikestarrett]

Spooning or forking allowed?

Capt Mike

[dave]

Options are open. Sporking.

Down at Starrett Pointe for the week and only managed two trips out fishing. Both up in the Dragon. First day threw a hair bug way up under a over hanging bush and landed a decent 3.5 lb LGMouth. Camera battery dead so I released him and put in spare batteries. Next fish came off a wacko worm.

The number of cypress trout was running at 2 to 1 that first day up in the Dragon. We found a small drain area off of a huge flat that had a very large school of LGMouth feeding on something. I threw crystal buggers and a few more flies at them. They ignored my offerings till I tried a fly spoon and hooked up. My buddy was still throwing a wacko worm and was on number 35 already. I decided to just feed them wait they wanted. Soon my numbers where up to 27.


Second trip was at dead low and a huge storm had us holed up for 2.5 hrs. Really loud and heavy rain. After the storm my phone rang once and then again. I answered it "Mr Starrett this is CPL Anderson with the VA Marine Police are you OK?"
Talk about good service.. I had to ask if my wife called them?
"No sir we saw your truck in launch ramp, and called the number on the signage"

Got chased back home at dark by a second storm cell.

Storm cells to the North and to the South passed right by us. Never even rained till the boat was covered and on the trailer. Enough weather report...the fishing was a little wonky with the bite on then off then on again, Produced fish all evening but never had a two in the same 1/2 hour. Got bluegill, white perch catfish and LGMouth. No snakeheads sadly. All on big hair bugs.



It was a good night fishing.
