Eastern Shore Sporty Spot.
As has been the Sc in past years.
! the best trolling ground for the big
ones" is on the Eastern shore OF the
| bav from Love Point down the Kent
! shore to Bloody Point. What is be
| lieved to be the largest rock taken
/ on hook and line from the bay this
year was la nded by Max RoSenStein
! of Baltimore Md, trolling with capt.
/ Harry Christian of Annapolis OFF
! Bloody Point This siriper weighed
! 50 pounds and measured i3 inches in
| length.
I Those fishing for the big fellows "a Y
/ that all their fish were caught trolling
! deep with the drone bait. Ii seems
! that the larger rock are all caught
! trolling deep with four or five ounce
! sinkers attached To the line to take
I it down to the larger fish. Fish weigh;
/ ing anywhere from one to six or seven
pounds are caught near the surface
/ after a school of rock has been To-
! Gated by the appearan of the sea
/ gulls. but only occa sionally is larger
member of this family caught in this
manner.
When using drone bait II is adj
/ visab to place bloodworm on The
! hook This is not absolutely neces-
| sary, but it proves an added attrac-
| ton to the fish and they attack 1t
/ viciously. When you get strike and
! do not hook your fish. don't allow
/ your lure to stay in the water to
await another strike. reel in and place
/ another worm on your hook. These
| fish either get hooked when they
strike Your lure and bait or they
/ take off the bloodworm as neatly as
/ YOU could do il with a pair of Scis-
/ sors, and unless You get very small
! rock there will he no doubt in your
mind whether YOU have him on the
| end of your line.
