A Lighthouse Tour with a Little Fishing

Type: Chesapeake
Region: Southern
Location: Cornfield Harbor

My wife (Jewel) and her sister (Terri) have been touring the country in search of lighthouses. So I promised to take them to the Point No Point Lighthouse which is located in the bay only accessible by boat. Since this trip was just for them I cleaned up my fishing boat a bit and only took very little tackle just in case I got a chance to do a little fishing. We launched the boat out of Point Lookout around 10:30 am for a nice and safe ride around the point and north to the lighthouse. The ride took about 30 minutes each way. It was very rewarding to see and hear the anticipation building as the lighthouse slowly came into view. They absolutely loved the experience and I enjoyed being a part of it. On the way back to the ramp they lovingly allowed me to wet a line for a minute or two. We returned to the ramp around noon and they left the dock smiling from ear to ear. Since it was such a nice day I decided to head back out to fish a little more. The fishing was red hot at and around Cornfield Harbor! I caught some nice spot, perch, croaker, puffer fish, flounder, sea bass, kingfish and rockfish from about 12:30 to 3:30. Since this was a trip for the ladies, I didn't bring any ice. So all fish were safely returned to the water to fight another day.
