The Onancock Chronicles the Eastern shore

[MakoMike]

When I go out fishing on Sunday of a major holiday weekend, Memorial Day, Labor Day, July 4, etc., I'm usually the ONLY boat fishing within visual range and since it's a summer Sunday, there aren't even lobster boats out.

I took me a while to understand this new reality, but I'm loving it!!

Let's not forget that tomorrows high will be 19°.

I'm sure he's learned to deal that. Brrrrrrrrrrr........

That's cold. How long or how much of the season is at those temperatures Dom?

Nah, my old "Lawnguyland" friends wouldn't believe one tenth of what I said in the best case. In the worst case they'd believe it and head up here, turning Route-1 into the LIE North. I could have retired anywhere along the striped bass' migration, which was my only requirement. I chose the state that allowed me to catch striped bass during the evening cocktail hour while sipping a single malt on my dock.

A Downeast mass migration of "Massholes" and "Lawnguylanders" would only ruin the tranquil solitude of summer mornings like this:

I used to use the reflective thumb tacks so I could find my hunting stands in the woods. Still got lost.

Too small

No Sh*T? You catch bass off off your dock while sipping your evening cocktails??
I don't blame you 1 bit for not wanting too many people to know that.

Yup, part of the fishing routine is to toss a few casts before I crank up the boat. Many times I'll start catching right off the dock and just keep fishing there.

Most folks our age look to go south to get away from the cold and snow. I used to like the snow about twenty five years ago. Now I spend most of the winter indoors.

We're quite the opposite, can't wait for snow so we can go snowshoeing. I always felt that you can add another layer of clothing, but once you're down to skin there's nothing left to remove on hot days. Nothing better than a brisk trek through the woods on snowshoes on a crisp winter day.
