So Hunter and I hit a creek not too far away a feeder for the Monocacy. We started with top water and a litte swim bait. Top water got a few strikes but nothin else. We switched up a bit and I put on a small wooly hawg tail and started getting bites (still having trouble on that bait style with a hook up) I put a small chatter bait on and got hooked up with a small 12 inch chunker. We were getting ready to go and Hunter finally gets bit and lands.... you guessed it the biggest of the day. All in all a fun couple hours, the score saw deer crossing the stream, big blue herons, caught a 4-6 lb snapping turtle and checked it out a couple minutes(there feisty) 2 bass and a chunk fall fish(catfish bait) Hunter did good on his first wading trip and it was fun to go to a spot I waded the last time about 14 years ago give or take. There is tons of good fishing to be had even without a boat so get after them any way you can. Happy 4th and thanks to all our troops past and present for getting us free and keeping us free.
