Need help where to go [emoji12]

[Gravedigger]

Just picked up a fully rigged PA 14 on a trailer and need some help getting started fishing from a kayak. Long time surf fisher. Just really where to go. I live in Cecil county and it will take me about the same time to get to Perryville or the Bohemian.

What would you like to catch? That's the determining factor.

One piece of general advice is to choose a small creek off of a tributary on a day with low wind for your first few outings.

I’ve fished some on kayak in OC. Had a tandem Hobie not too conducive for fishing.

Strippers and anything else productive. Perch, etc.

I did really well at the Chesapeake Bay bridge live lining Spot on the bridge pilings. I was there at sunup. There was a lot of boat traffic, the water was choppy and moving. I was a little unnerved by all the activity. Maybe not an ideal place for a first try and I see it is a long trip for you. Oh, plenty of White Perch there in the morning closer to shore on the pilings.

Thanks
Eric

Thanks I was there last weekend on a boat and we limited out quickly. Wish it was closer.

I can make anyplace in Cecil in less than half hour, the bridge another hour.

There was a M&G last year at Perryville Community Park, and on the East you've got Elk Neck State Park & River.

I've never fished that far north, best of luck.

I’m just wanting to speed up the learning curve. Perryville Community park has great access but where do you go once on the water.

Right outside of the launch several places to the left and across on Miller creek & Furnace bay.... There's a deep channel that runs on the bayside of stump point to the VA Hospital, then from Stump point towards Carpenter Point, across Stump point on the flats

What would you try first, deep channel or Furnace bay ? What is there though August?

Going out tomorrow morning. Launching from Perryville Community park

It's summer time so if launching at the Perryville park you can go left and fish the shoreline or grass in Furnace Bay, or if you go right you can cross the channel, which is a lot like playing frogger with summer boat traffic, and head out onto the flats. It gets shallow so boats stay away. It's covered in grass now which is good for bass fishing. Throwing top water frogs will produce. I was out there Saturday and had 7 top water blowups throughout the day. Another good area is north east creek via launching at the north east town park.

Where would you go through August?

In two weeks I’m headed to OC MD around 120th street bay side.

[ReelLucky22]

If I'm targeting largemouth through August, any of the previously mentioned locations will work. Other locations nearby include tydings marina in havre de grace, mariner point park in joppa, octoraro reservoir just over the line in PA, just to name a few. If you're going to kayak fish in OC the only place I can recommend is the route 90 bridge pilings using top/bottom rigs with fish bites artificial baits on them, or jigging bucktails with gulp minnows on them for flounder.

Thanks for the OC information.
