Trip Summary

We had a very nice group from Delaware today. Turns out they've been all over the country catching different fish so I knew that I had my work cut out for me. Being a day of a 25 mile an hour Nor'easter I knew I would not be able to take them and anchor up in my favorite spots to try to put them in the right area of fulfilling their dreams. So we tried trolling for the first part of the trip in the Backwater trying to hunt down some big drum and eventually gave up with no luck. With the water being so rough you could not see the fish and the birds could not either so they weren't much help. The second half of the trip we went to a little Hideaway spot tucked up between two islands with a 16 foot deep Slough running through the middle. Hoping for the best we started doing some bottom fishing and caught a few different species of small fish but finally pulled in a very nice 13 in Sheepshead at which that time the gentleman began thinking he had the biggest fish. After fishing a while longer a female then caught a bigger sheep head then the party became more comfortable and started enjoying the trip I believe. Although we did not catch anything to brag about or have any big memories I still believe they had a good time and hope that they will give us another shot at it on not such a bad day. For not every day is a great day on the water but every day is a great day to be on the boat from the crew of the fishing taxi tight lines and God bless.
