Wow! Talk about rough.


Date: 12 April 2012
Air Temp: 40-57
Water Temp: 53-55 degrees
Wind: NNW 16-23 mph
Tide: HIGH @ 1154 am

Aquia Creek

The was wind howling again for the most part and the water temp was down 12 degrees on average.  I managed 1 2lb keeper slow rolling a Rat L Trap through the grass on the incoming tide.  It had a big gash on its side like it had been bitten.  I'm thinking snakehead? I threw several different lures (swimbait, swimming jig, plastics)  in and out of the wind for the next 3 hours with no takers. I decided to run to some known structure and brush up on my electronics skills for about an hour and a half.  I'm a super novice at trying to determine what I'm seeing on those displays, especially the Lowrance Side Scan.  I did learn a thing or two though. I think.
