Sounds like another great adventure. I am glad to hear Thunder Road has been doing it all from the flats to the big waters of the bay!

Good seeing you and your brother up on the Flats again. It was a pretty good final two weeks of fishing there and I’m already looking forward to next season.
John Page told me about this recent blog of yours and I’m glad he did. It is a very good read and a delightful account of your trip.
On another note, I would like to chat w/you regarding an article about careful catch. John Page had Boat US Angler magazine approach him about writing it but he referred the assignment to me. Talk w/you soon.

Great read again Shawn….we need to hookup here shortly…this time last year I was finding decent fish under birds at a top-secret location…you may need to be blindfolded for this trip…..On a more serious note…love the pics…

You paint a beautiful picture with words.
I (we) enjoy reading them.

Saturday morning is the kind of morning that dreams are made of. Fish or not (lucked out with a 37 incher on a Tony just after sun up) that sun rise will not be soon forgotten, simply beautiful.

I am VERY surprised there were not more boats there. I remember days when there would have been hundreds!

Keep up the good work,
Thank you,
Jeff

Shawn,

Great read, and great photography. I’ve been told that I can spin a yarn, but you’re an incredible writer. I liked the historical backdrop of the old town Betterton, and I enjoyed reading about how you got to the ramp.

Great idea with the lean-too at the bow. I’m going to have to try that with my center console.

Tight Lines!

Don

Shawn,
Out of all the web sites I visit and read yours is without a doubt the “BEST”. I really enjoy reading about your adventures on the Chesapeake Bay and the fish that you catch and your photos, well they are outstanding. I’m sorry that the fish did not cooperate when you got to me up on the Flats but we did catch a few. It was good seeing you at the Bay Bridge on Saturday also but boy was it a tough day out there. Keep up the great reports and I will let you know how we make out this coming Saturday but I think I’m going to hit the Patapsco River to see if any fish are still there.

Another great article and photos from one of the Chesapeake’s finest. Glad you had a chance to enjoy your kin and Thunder Road for the week. Keep it tight!

Great read… once again I really enjoy this site It was very nice to meet you… the boat is beautiful… Just one thing “I am no expert” just a guy with a sickness… the fish talk to me in my sleep and I am tortured unless I’m fishing… You should be careful as you show all the classic signs of the disease… or maybe you have a more advanced strain… Hope to spend some more time on the water with you…
