Topwater Bite

I've been catching a few fish at Mountain Point, the mouth of the Magothy River. The conditions have to be right, but on a calm evening with a good tide, there are usually some pretty good fish hanging out around the rocks and pilings at the point. It's a lot of fun to see them hit a topwater lure. I've also found breaking fish across the Bay at Love Point. So far, they're all pretty small, and all rockfish. I haven't caught any bluefish yet, but I've heard that there are a few around. We've had an algae bloom or something in the river which has turned the water orange. It was a deep chocolate brown earlier in the week. I haven't seen any crabs so far, but that might be because I haven't put in my traps yet. The water temperature is still barely 70 at the dock.
