Checked the Trot Line.

Checked the Trot Line this morning.  Had baited up with Shrimp and Hot Dogs this time.  Caught four Catfish we kept for dinner.  Also, caught and released three undersized Catfish and a White Bass.  And, did lose another Catfish while bring it in.  Fun stuff!

Today's Catch....

Checked the Trot Line this morning.  Caught five Catfish, released one that was undersized and kept four for Dinner.  Largest went 19" in size.  Fun stuff... much calmer winds compared to yesterday!

Set Another Trot Line!

Set a Trot Line today.  Used Shad, Shrimp, and Hot Dogs for bait.  We are letting the Trot Line soak now; hope to catch a Bruiser or two this round.  Made some adjustments since last time.  Added two more floats and weights to keep the main line off the bottom and set at the right depth.

Also, used a "Hand Line" holder to store the main line and a "Noodle" to keep the hook and leaders organized.  Despite the strong wind today was able to set the Trot Line with minimal issues and did not have to untangle any hooks and leaders this time.

Now... if the fish would cooperate and get caught, things will be even better!

Checked the Trot Line....

Checked the trot line we set.  Caught four Catfish.  Two were small and were released; two were decent sized and were filleted!  Measured 19" in size.  Baited with Shrimp and Hot Dogs; looked like the fish preferred the Shrimp.  Also, noticed some new additions to the fence where some "Bruisers" were posted. Looks like someone has been getting some big ones!

Set a Trot Line....

Set a trot line at Brockdale with our fishing buddy Ginia Beach.  Baitedwith Shrimp and Hot Dogs for a "bait buffet" that we hope the Catfish can't resist.  Will see when we check it later!  More to come.

More Than One This Round

Set two Trot Lines out last night.  Had only caught one Catfish last round.  This time caught five Catfish - three we kept for Dinner and two that we released because they were too small.  Used Shrimp and Chicken Livers for bait.  The Shrimp seemed to work better than the Chicken Livers.  Better to have gone with Shad for bait but had a tough time catching them in our cast net.  After picking up the Trot Lines, did a little Jug Lining; had a hit or two but no hookups.  Oh well, have enough fillets for Dinner.  Courtesy of the largest of the three Catfish we caught; measured 22" in length!

Only One This Round...

Set out a Trot Line this afternoon.  Checked it after soaking for 2 hours.  Caught only one Catfish.  Let it go as it was small.  Re-baited the hooks, and then set out another Trot Line.  Hoping for a Bruiser when we check them again!
