Mark and I spent the
afternoon on the water,
taking in some leisurely
fishing.
We both caught eight
fish each, and
Mark's hot lure was
the Cavitron
Buzzbait, then
followed by a chart
& white Chatterbait.
Neither of us caught
fish on jigs, which
was absolutely
non-productive.
Fresh beaver
activity has caused
lots of downed
timber in this reach
of water, and all of
the trees were
either red maple,
and then tulip
poplar, further back
off the water.
Today was a poor
hook-set day.
Mark and I both lost
a good few fish,
probably due to
working thru
numerous lure types.
I caught three fish
on this flex-tail,
top-water stick
bait, made by
Terminator.
Listening to tunes
and soaking up the
sun!
Senko worms were
good but my hot lure
of the day
was watermelon
colored, Sweet
Beaver's by Reaction
Innovation.
I got this fish on a
BooYah, all-white
colored spinnerbait.
We drove by
Spiknell's Produce
(Old Gunpowder Road,
Beltsville) on the
way home
and purchased corn,
picked today from
their fields, and
some watermelon
too. Spiknell's
corn has been
available for the
last week, and will
run thru October.
The first corn of
the year is grown
using black plastic
to 'advance'
development to
maturity. It's
edifying to see many
acres of rotation
crops and fields
surrounding the
produce stand.
It makes you feel
closer to the
produce.
