Fished the Chesapeake Northern Open. Boy, the fishing was awful. The average catch in day 1 was about 1 fish per angler, on day 2 it was much worse... 175 fish caught by 194 anglers.... it really s*cked. And every 30 mins this fricking military tank or something would fire a shot and the concussion sound nearly dropped a duce in my shorts every time! They got this military zone nearby where they fire canons and explosive and sh*t.

Seems that the water is so difficult to run that unless u are a local that really knows how to run the water, all the tournament anglers bunch up near the launch ( within 2 miles or so ).

There was one point near the launch and i'm not kidding when i tell you that there were 20 boats in a 40 foot by 70 foot square area at the end of a point. It was rediculous.

I'm sure the fishing is great when the weeds start coming in, but i don't think BASS will be coming back anytime soon... at least not in April !

Also, BASS did this tournament really cheap. They gave everyone the choice of a hot dog or hamburger and a coke and bag of chips at the 'registration banquet'. Really was a little league approach to such a huge investment for Cecil County. Also, the launch charged everyone 10 bucks per day and told us there was no coangler parking.

If i lived in the area, it's an awesome fishery, but i don't see BASS coming back.

The best part was this guy has a Hooters sponsorhip and the babes were taking these centerfold-like pictures with folks. Saw a guy run into a truck looking back at them.
