Fish Report 11/30/21

Fish Report 11/30/21

Greetings All, 

Was deep in a project yesterday and failed to announce trips. 

Tomorrow (12/01/21) looks to be nicer than any day in all November. And, tired of bird, I need fresh sea bass—Going! No minimum of clients. 
Yes, Going Sea Bassing.. 

Saturday too (12/04/21) looks outstandingly calm. 

Opening both trips to 18 anglers at $155.00 - depart 6:30am (or, more likely, as early as 6) and return 4ish..


Reservations Required  For All Trips - Call Anna (and sometimes daughter Hanna!) Reservation Line is Open 8am to 8pm at 443-235-5577 It always jams when I first open. Sorry! Anna goes by messages too for booking. 


Have to run a fair piece to get on sea bass this time of year. Result has been excellent fishing. Last 7 trips (at least when I could get a whole trip!) we had a boat limit plus paid the rent..


Boots! If anywhere near the stern - wet deck - wear boots in winter. (At least bring em. If flat calm you may not need them..)


As ever, Be a half hour early! We always leave early!

..except when someone shows up right on time.

Clients arriving late will see the west end of an east-bound boat.

With a limited number of reserved spots, I do not refund because you

overslept or had a flat. No Refund or Reschedule for a missed trip! 


Ticket Sales Limited To Four. (Let your friends take care of their own reservations!) Will sometimes sell all spots to one company on a weekday—as in a charter. Has to go through me and not terribly likely. I've built a livelihood carrying individual anglers and enjoy their company. 


Trips Also Sometimes Announced (but later - email is always first) on Facebook.

My personal and Morning Star FB pages get daily after action (or lack thereof) reports..


Bait is provided on all trips.


If You Won't Measure & Count Your Fish, The State Will Provide A Man With A Gun To Do It For You. We Measure & Count — ALWAYS — No Exceptions!


It's Simple To Prevent Motion Sickness, Difficult To Cure. Bonine seems best because it's non-drowsy. This is truly cheap & effective insurance.

Honestly - If you get to go on the ocean once month, once a year, or

even less; why risk chumming all day? Similarly, if you howl at the

moon all night, chances are good you'll howl into a bucket all day.


Bring A Cooler With Ice For Your Fish – A 48 Quart Cooler Is Fine For

Two People. Do Not Bring A Very Large Cooler. We DO have a few loaners - you'll still need ice.

No Galley! Bring Food & Beverages To Suit. A few beers in cans is fine for the ride home.


As of 11/30/21 we will have 35,308 Reef Blocks & 412 Concrete Pyramids (170lb ea) deployed at numerous ACE permitted ocean reef sites - and, also as of 11/16/21, we have 312 pyramids at Chesapeake Bay oyster sites working to restore blue ocean water…

Reef projects are in high gear. Regulatory season too. 

No essay for now, perhaps soon. 

Regards 

Monty
