Report from Bill's Fishing
Shack
By Bill Johnson

Due to family matters the last month has had me tied up in the Frederick area and have been unable to test the waters for myself. But according to some of my most reliable sources, including Captain Bruno Vasta on the Dottie Vee and Brian Stuart on the Flora Vee, the bottom fishing has continued to improve since the end of May. The bite for croaker and favorable sized spot in the mouth of the Patuxent River continues, with the best bite being late evening to after dark. There has been some nice flounder caught in the mouth of the Patuxent, one of the spots being the three-legged buoy. There's also legal sized rockfish being caught on trolled medium sized bucktails and spoons on the channel edges in 35-50 feet of water, although most captains are chumming for them in the usual grounds, Point No Point, 72, etc. Have heard some reports of schools of small rockfish working the surface, providing action on light rods and fly fishing gear, but have no reports of bluefish showing up. There are reports of large numbers of cow nosed rays in the Bay and Patuxent River. When they move in, then the bottom fishing for spot, croaker, etc. usually turns off. If you by chance hook up on one of these winged monsters, you might be pleasantly surprised by how good they can be in a deep fryer. Beware of the barb at the base of the tail, which can leave a nasty and painful puncture wound. I cut the wings off until I get home where I can separate the meat from the cartilage and skin. Then cut it in strips to be battered and deep fried. You might find that it's worth the effort. Hope to be getting my lines wet after the 7th of July and trying some night fishing. Call me at 410-326-1891 for the latest fishing reports and about the night fishing trip on July 24-25.

For the latest fishing reports, you can reach me at the Fishin’ Shack, 410-326-1891.
