Sometimes it's Better to Be Lucky Than Good!

Type: Tidal
Region: Central
Location: Susquehanna Flats

That�s what happened to me! While casting lures for rockfish on the Susquehanna Flats, Tuesday, April 18, 2017, and having absolutely no bites, I noticed the water starting to move along a rocky shoreline as the tide began rolling out. So I electric motored my bass boat, moving it from shallow offshore flats to where the flowing water. I cast the lure I was casting for rockfish in close to shore. I got a bite right away. Was I surprised when I saw it was a big largemouth bass with the lure completely engulfed inside its maw! In the net, and on the Major League Fishing Scale, the bass weighed 6.09 pounds. At Bowley�s Bait Store in Middle River it measured 22 inches.
