Secrets of Catching Striped Bass
LEARN THE SECRETS OF CATCHING STRIPED BASS WITH CAPT. RICHIE GAINES
WYE MILLS – Join Capt. Richie Gaines on Saturday, March 13 at Chesapeake College for a one-day seminar on how to find and catch striped bass (rockfish) throughout the different seasons of the Chesapeake Bay. All levels of anglers are welcome!
Fishing techniques such as trolling, chumming, live lining, and light tackle will be covered along with rigging, knots, and equipment selection. Gaines will also share his knowledge on how to find and fish productive locations in the mid Bay.
Captain Richie Gaines has been guiding anglers in the Chesapeake region for over twenty years and has earned the reputation as one of the top light tackle guides on the Bay. He fishes the Bay from the Susquehanna Flats to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, moving with the fish to follow the best bite. Gaines serves as President of the Chesapeake Guides Association, is past Chairman of the Maryland Sport Fishing Advisory Commission, and has been featured in several national fishing magazines and television shows.
The course fee for the seminar is $52.00. Participants should bring a brown bag lunch. For registration information, contact Marci Leach at mleach@chesapeake.edu or call 410-827-5833.
Caring for Elderly Parents - Raising Expectations
by Carolyn Kennedy
Caring for elderly loved ones often becomes a balancing act. You must balance your life and comforts against theirs. If you are employed you may at times have to miss several days on the job because your parents need your time, have a doctor appointment, or an unexpected need arises.
My husband and I try to live most of the winter months in Florida. We are of the age where people start to say “at your age”, though we like to think we are in the prime of life. Even a cool Florida feels good in January and February when the snow is falling in the North. My elderly parents live in a northeastern state. The Blizzards of 2010 created some challenges for keeping them safe and comfortable.
During the first storm in February, they were on their own. They both rely on a walker to move around and because Mother is very frail and Father has macular degeneration, it is difficult for them to even prepare meals. Fortunately we have caregivers who are there every day to prepare meals.
