With the weather turning for the better (warmer) I decided to take the bass boat out to.... 1) see how's it running after winter maintenance and 2) to see if anything was biting. One out of two isn't bad as the boat ran well. As for fishing, I was out there a few hours and didn't get a bite. Not even on my lucky chartreuse spinner which usually snags a catfish every fourth cast. I also didn't get any perch on a hook, sinker and power bait "bloodworm."
Conditions were favorable with a light breeze and mostly overcast. It was actually foggy the first part of the trip. The water temperature was about 62 degrees in Swan Creek.
I'm looking to try a few crab traps in deeper water but I don't have too much optimism yet. It's only mid-May and crabs don't start picking up until July.
In other news, Maryland oyster harvest hit a 35-year
high this year (2021/2022). That's great to hear.
