Today’s Rock

George Poveromo’s World of Saltwater Fishing is coming to film show about Virginia’s fabulous trophy striped bass fishery. Never mind that the water is so warm that I keep checking each buoy I pass for a cobia. I like walking around in t-shirts and bare feet in December but the TV crew is coming. I wonder how far north we can run the Marc VI? While most of the fish are still north, there are a few nice fish around. We went scouting today in various boats. So far, no catch reports from the other boats except for those that gave up and went speckled trout or tog fishing. In my boat, we managed to catch a couple of 45-inch fish, at the high rise, in the pre-dawn hours. During the daylight, we drifted in the buoy 38 area. Bait looks great everywhere. We had three bites there but did not hook any of them. There is a little more than a week before George and his cameras arrive. The water needs to cool a bit more in that time or I need to convince George and his production crew that spending the night at the CBBT is a most fun thing to do.
