The weatherman was way off today. It was supposed to be heavy rain most of the day so I did not plan on going out. By 1400 hrs it had not rained and was very calm so I dropped my ski the water and went out in the Chesapeake Bay looking for dinner. Lucky for me I had one dozen fiddlers left from...

I am! I have not been fishing for almost two weeks. Between my jet skis being worked on and this being my busiest time of year for work, I have not been out too much. I am sure I will make up for it soon. I have taken a couple pictures this week so I thought I would go ahead and put them up...
