Posted on April 18, 2014 by Walleye Pete

One of Last years whoppers at the Flats….some are there now! Just have to get one to bite!

 

Arrived up at the flats wednsday afternoon…splashed the boat, got it in the slip and looked at the water.  Water at the flats was muddy and not a great opportunity to catch in it.  Canceled my Thursday and Friday trips.  Have a crew Saturday morning who wants to go regardless and give it a shot…..I’ll be out in the morning working hard looking for the best conditions and some hopeful fish!  I have a father daughter crew in the afternoon who really wants to go….water is plenty warm……lot’s of fish up the river getting caught on bait and lures (by accident).  I think things could get good…..just not sure.

“Walleye” Notes News Letter/Walk-On Trips Open

 April 13, 2014

Walk-On Trips for the Flats Open now!

I’ve delayed enough!  Heading to the Susquhanna Flats to start Thursday, 17 April.  Water temp looks great, clarity is greatly improving, big stripers getting caught in the river, maybe some on the flats,  so……gotta believe the flats will have some catchable Stripers!  Weather forecast for the next few days is windy and I’ve been very lucky to have gotten many great trips in at Calvert Cliffs. I’m ready to shift gears! Going to prep the boat and batten down the “home hatches” and head up north!  Last year on my first day of fishing the flats success was had big time!  Many fish….some good ones and for a few days it was game on! Rips in review will be coming soon!  Really good stuff!!!

 

First flats fish last year on or about April 6? I think?

 

Hoping the bite will be right on schedule…clearing water and warming is a good thing!  Had several days of great…then decent….then crappy at the flats last year…..here’s a few shots from last year!

First day at the Flats for me will be on April 17, 2014!  I’ve got 3 spots available for the first trip of the day starting at 6am!  We’ll be running the flats covering every possible angle I know of to get the first fish on!  Conditions are looking good right now and I think we’ve got a good chance of making it happen!

Walk-On Trips Have been a Charm! A Little rain, breeze and Hungry Fish! Not heading to the Flats for this Saturday, Walk-On Trip for This Friday A.M.!

Posted on April 8, 2014 by Walleye Pete

My buddy Mike with a nice little 40″er!

 

The bite has been pretty good lately.  The worse the weather the better the fishing!  We’ve had some breeze and rain….makes for good fishing!  Last week on two seperate nice sunny days the bite was not on.  Everyday is different…..you never know with the bite this time of year.  I’ll take it when I can get it and hope the bite stays consistantly good for a bit.

Due to the current condition of the Susquehanna Flats I am not going to start on Saturday there.  Going to stay home and fish out of Solomons.  Hoping the water condition in the Susqy settles down and the flats clears up.  Until then I’ll be out of Solomons.

Here’s a few recent shots…..

Young Joey did a great job with the stick today…..he caught many really great fish today on 10″ BKD’s www.basskandydelights.com good job Joey!

Really stought Striper! Great light tackle jigging fight!

Kayak man Mike with one of many good ones for him today!

Michigan Family Hit’s it BIG! Short Notice Walk-On Spots Tomorrow Morning, 8 April!!!

Posted on April 7, 2014 by Walleye Pete

The boys fish may have been bigger…..but yours was prettier!

 

Recieved a call from a concerned mom about her three boys’, one being her husband, needing to go fishing bad.  They had a VA Beach trip scheduled but was canceled…..somehow they found me!  We were lucky enough to have fair seas and overcast skies and a pretty good “bucket” of fish under the boat!  None of the family of four had ever fished for or caught a Striper……family trips are great and this one was awesome!  I’m never overly thrilled with teenage boys or early 20’s……. cause I’m jealous!   The two boys on this trip were certainly fine young men and ready to rumble with Chesapeake Bay Rockfish, rumble they did!  From beginnging to end they were getting bent sticks with some real nice fish in the mix.  Dad and the two boys caught on quick….mom was wildly enthusiastc but a bit “inexperienced”. LoL!   The boys were on right away and dad was quick to follow…..couldn’t be out-done by the boys, especially with his bride wittnessing the event!  I  think she was rooting for the boys…….

“Dad” with one of his good ones!

 

Throughout our fishing trip we caught a good number of Stripers…..some big, some small!  “Mom” caught on to the technique soon enough and was hooking up!  John, the oldest son at 23 just graduated from college and Thomas, a newly designated “adult” at 18 is on his last spring break from High School.  John and Thomas were going nose to nose on fish…..both catching plenty and some good ones.  John hooked a REALLY big fish and fought it for a few minutes.  The fish was just shy of the boat with the leader almost to me when it popped off.   My “expert” eye called it 40″ or more……but……Thomas was happy it was gone!  LoL.  It wasn’t long and Thomas was hooked up with a good one!  He fought it perfectly and had it to the boat in short order…….it was the biggest fish of the day!

Dad happened to hook up with a good one at the same time as John……nothing like a good father/son pic with nice fish!

The smiles tell it all!!!

A beautiful 35″ Striped Bass for Thomas! Not bad for his first time ever on the bay for Stipers! Biggest of the day!

 

John caught several really nice fish with several close to 30″ and over….unfortunately for him his baby brother was the man today!

Recent College Grad. John with his second place fish! Not bad John!!!! If only you didn’t shake off the BIG one!

 

I’m very fortunate to be in the business of taking folks fishing and hopefully providing a great experience to be remembered for a long time.  On this trip the family JACKPOT was hit.  A wonderful family lucked into a good situation on our Chesapeake Bay and I was there to help them along the way!  Mom, Dad,  John and Thomas did a great job learning quickly and making my job easy.  Truly it’s days like this one that keep me coming back for more!  Thanks Pilarski’s!  It was truly my pleasure!!!!  Hope to meet again!

 

SHORT NOTICE WALK-ON TRIP- group of three had to cancel!

Tuesday Morning, 8 April, 3 spots available

Launch from Solomons Island Boat Ramp at 6am, return around 1130am
