....... rough out tomorrow ... wind chill will begin at 23 F. and make it all the way up to 31 F. ... winds will be NW at 19 mph g/27 ... waves 3' (sometines 4'+)... all day first light to dark .

We will be in an open CC boat trolling ... again ... ugggg ... fish better bite (Stripers of course) ... the big ocean fish entered the bay a few weeks back (45"-52") ... we've only got a couple weeks left to stock some more in the freezer (season ends 12/15/10) .

My guess is we are going to get the shit knocked out of us (again) and strike out ... anyone want to make a wager ??

I never let that stuff stop me. Good luck and may the odds be in your favor.

...... and that came at the very end of the day when we were hauling the lines up (nephew and I each put a half fish fillet in the freezer) .

We were a little bit luckier with the weather than forecast . Winds were a few kts. lighter ... 7 am. was 16-g/25 , 8 am. 13-g/18 , by 11 am. 9-g/11 it calmed some and pretty much stayed that way for the rest of the day , maybe even got a little better .

Wind chill temps. were still pretty raw though ... 7 am. between 20-22 F. and improved to 29 F. by 5 pm. .

Is this type of fishing worth it ... NO WAY . But it's the nephew's boat , it's what he wants to do , he's the captain and he's going to do what he wants and hunt Stripers the way he wants , and unfortunately that seems to be trolling (very unproductive method) ... ugggg !!

The only good thing about it is I love my nephew and enjoy being with him as much as possible . I just don't feel I can stand to go through another year of this trolling insanity with him though . There are much more productive ways to catch Stripers from the Chesapeake .
