Left Bay Bridge Marina on my buddy Matt's boat around 10:40 and arrived at the WWD at Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Plant at 11:30 (delayed because no fuel docks were open had to 5 gallon can it). Caught five fish between 16 and 20 inches. Nothing to brag about, but it was so nice to get out and put a line in the water. :thumbsup:

Very nice!! Always good to get the first ones of the year!
Looks rougher then I thought it would have been.

Did you see many other boats out today?

How long of a run was it down there?

Yeah, looks a bit sloppy, wind was up, eh?
I go out there every week, been pretty calm, I haven't seen any other recreational boats, bet you didn't either.
Jigging off the bottom in about 15'?
Looks shallow.
Warm water discharge pipe area?

Didn't see any other boats. Mid day was choppy, but laid down flat. Today looks nice out.
