Here's Kristen with the first keeper rockfish
of the afternoon. |
 |
Here's Kristen again, Captain Drew, and
Phillis on the right, each with a rockfish. |
 |
And here's Steve with a 22 inch striper or
rockfish, best of the afternoon. |
 |
And here's Bruce Matthews, crew chief and
President of RBFF, with another nice rockfish. |
 |
After we finished chumming, we went looking
for breaking fish. And the small bluefish proved to be thick and agressive, as
Kristen soon found out. |
 |
A quick learner at casting, Phillis caught
these two all by herself. By the way, Phillis doesn't handle fish, so Kristen
and Drew had to hold her double on bluefish. Sorry Phillis, I couldn't resist. |
 |
For completeness, here's Kristen and Kristen,
both with doubles on bluefish. |
 |
Later on, we got into the croaker. On
light tackle, big croaker like these are an absolute blast to catch. Note that
Phillis is not touching that croaker ... |
 |
And finally, here's Kristen with a nice
seatrout. If you didn't get excited by watching the RBFF crew catch fish, you better
check for a pulse. Their enthusiasm for fishing and being out on the Chesapeake was
infectious. |
