Decided to give the Trout another go so I headed over to "The Cove". It is a man made area off of the ICW close to an area refered to as the Hot Ditch, a power plant warm water dishcharge off of the Elizabeth River in Chesapeake Virginia. The ramp I dropped at is right in the middle of it all. My nieghbor was fishing the same area and kindly gave me some live bait that he had already caught.
I anchored and live baited in the cove from 0730-1230 with only one small perch to show for it, no trout. I then went by the ditch and trolled and casted for about an hour. No luck for me but I did see a couple caught on jigs and of course this pelican had to show me up and dive right in front of me and catch a nice one. Ha! It was still a nice day and I think I burned less than a gallon today.

that perch looks like something took a bite out of it's tail!

what kind of trout are those? are they around all year or do they winter in the bay?

also cool to see all the different types of rigs out there (kayaks, canoes,boats, jetskis, etc).
