Aquia Creek

Hit the Aquia around 4:15pm with my Man , 50 Grand, JB.  It has been a loooong time since the last time he came out on the boat.  Almost 5 years to be exact, but who's counting?  The important thing is he made it out, LOL.

I was hoping to get him into some of the hot "Trap" action that has been going on lately, but that really didn't pan out.  I imagine the number of big tournaments (that were in the area) may of had an effect.  There were a lot of fish taken and the fish that remained have been really pressured lately.

We tried the best producing areas with little luck, as far as quality goes.  Picked up 2 decent keepers on a lipless in shallow grass.  Also, managed  to boat a few dinks by pitching plastics tight to shallow cover. We ended up with 6 fish in a little over 3 hours.  The lack of quality fish had no bearing on the fun factor.  The weather was nice ( a little more of a breeze than I prefer) and the company was great.

Although we didn't load the boat with lunkers, there was an added bonus.  JB bought his "Super Camera" along and got some some amazing photos that captured the definition of beauty (he also took some photos of scenery and nature crap too, LOL).

We have plans to do it again real soon.
