Stippers hit in 40' of water in Chester River

It only took until November 17th to land two keepers, but at least it saved the season. Up until this point, every prior attempt this year has turned out to be a boat ride.  Yes, fishing was on fire over by the Patapsco River, but I didn't venture over there.

Today was an unusually mild day for mid-November but when it comes to fishing that's just fine.  Based on the local fishing report I heard on good word the fish were biting in Chester River by the Queenstown Inlet in about 40' of water.  It turned out to be true.
