Started trolling about 10:00 am @ York Spit and trolled to the Baltimore/York channel convergence. Nothing but dink bluefish, even with a 7 kt troll. Picked up, ran to the small boat channel and promptly began picking up Spanish Mackerel, most of them fairly close to the bridge. Could have caught more than the 8 we did catch if we hadn't gotten such a late start and then wasted time trolling the York channel. I thought they might have moved into the Bay, but they haven't yet. Water temp was 73 degrees mostly, but I did see some 75 degree patches here and there.
Catch 'em up!!
