Sucks to lose those Cannon balls but good on ya for getting out there. I'm in Baltimore for the Holidays and a family member wants to take us out on the Chesapeake Bay for some striper fishing (in his sail boat) , he says the depth of the water is only 20-50' but the stripers can get up to 50#'s. Seriously considering it!

Does anyone know anything about Ambelside launch bieng quietly closed for good? A buddy of mine went out today only to find it closed.

I gotta say Reeltordarious, don,t look a gift horse in the mouth. Go, go, go.

So answering my own question here. Ambelside is closed for launching of motorized craft, I think it was Oct 24th. So I guess that's it.

Great day on the water today. Fished around bowen. Got sealed once, 2 undersized, lost the biggest winter spring I've yet to hook 30 feet behind the boat, probably 18-25lbs and boxed a nice 10lb feeder. 2 crab and 200 prawns!

I even managed to find and retrieve one of my prawn floats that was 3 feet under the water in fast current. Thought that trap was a gonner.

Forecast might just call for a quick fish in the harbour on Monday and a longer fish around Bowen on Tuesday. Tired of wrapping presents and stocking stuffers ... looking forward to some time on the water.

 

[Bait&Sea]

Got my eyes on tuesday too...

 

[fishin solo]

Itching to get out tomorrow .... damn wind forecast, hope it's wrong !
