Vb west side windy day

[sweets]

I wanted to watch the Outdoor Channel and eat all day but my boy was itching to wet a line. We looked at the radar and we had a couple hour window of good weather - so we loaded up and left the house at 11am. I wasn't expecting to catch much with the 20+mph ESE wind and figured we'd just fish around the Intracoastal or the mouth of 4-mile cut - but was surprised to see that the bay wasn't that rough...and the water was nice - so we ran to Fearman. We anchored down and fished a protected point. We ended up catching a decent box of fish. My son reeled in 6 reds and 3 blue cats while I played net boy. The big blue cat was 13lbs. The 2nd pic is of some marsh deer eating clovers at the GW camp. His highlights of the day were catching the big catfish and getting to drive the boat back from Fearman to ICY landing. I showed him how to avoid crab traps and follow the GPS. It ended being a great day not wasted sitting on the sofa.
