Cape Photo of the Day - Photo #292


Any of you who have enjoyed a Chesapeake fishing charter or who run a sophisticated set of lines off of your own fishing boats probably recognize this rig. We were out today with Captain Greg Buckner of Miss Susie Charters at the mouth of the Potomac. We usually charter with the Miss Susie out of Solomon's, but the Maryland rockfish season ended this past weekend. Driving an extra hour south to Point Lookout put us in legal Virginia and Potomac waters for an early morning of fishing.

We were also in a lot of fog! The planar boards (visible in the picture) were about the outer limit of our visibility. The water was flat though; it was pretty warm for mid-December on the Bay; and the fish were biting! We came home literally with a boatload of rockfish - several of them over 40 inches. If anyone is looking for a good fishing charter, we have always had great luck with Captain Greg Buckner on the Miss Susie. You can find him on Facebook. Or here's his number with a big plug for his charter:
