2012 saw a few firsts for me and my clients. The crappie where late even after the mild winter we had. First time I broke the 30 Potomac Pike mark in a summer with 32 landed. I also did my first walk on trip for monster catfish this year.
In 2012 I did some non-client fishing trips to CBBT/OC and really got into the bull red drum. That was a blast.
I always start each year with spider rigging on the cane pole.

And then we jump right into monster catfish.

Did a little offshore in OC for fun.

Fished CBBT and got beat up by wind and red drum. Please note the two rods in back with fish on. Wild day..

I then settled down for some Potomac Pike and pesky LGMouth.

Lots of great evening trips and even better ribs and chicken led into some VA Tidewater fishing.

Then back to CBBT for bull drum.

The fall was not as good as normal for monster cats and concluded the fishing year with a trip to Buxton NC in the surf.

A very good year..
