You cannot plan a fishing trip more than an hour ahead of time. The Weather Gods predicted thunderstorms for today, but we decided to sally forth anyway. Paddles 6 1/2 miles into the wind only to find our camping spot was lower than expected. We did have a Plan B a little farther away that looked good. We saw a 6' fish jump clear out of the water from 1/2 mile away. That got us excited, but later deflated us whem it turned out to be a mammal. Other than that the only bite was probably a good-size shark that peeled of 60 yards of line before it cut the 80 lb leader. Decided it wasn't worth camping overnight with nothing biting, so headed in as the winds increased to 20 kts higher than predicted. The smoke from the fires in NC that Tridaddy mentioned found its way to the Eastern Shore. We then missed a turn , ran out of water to paddle in, back tracked, etc etc etc.
Basically, we paddled 20 miles to take a dump in a marsh.
Headed out again 7/6....
