During the next few weeks, I would like to fish for pickerel, something I have not done before, on purpose at least. Any suggestions on methods, lures, areas, etc.? As always, I appreciate any and all advice and information.

Jim,
John's presentation is excellent.
Lures: Spinners, soft plastics, crank baits, top water. (light -- 1/8 to 1/4 oz. and relatively small 1 to 3 inches) Pickerel are predatory feeders. They like movement especially when you drag a lure right past their noses.
Where: Tidal and freshwater creeks and ponds. The tributaries and cuts and inlets of the Severn offer many such locations.
Specifically where: Shallow water, tight to shore often, close to downed wood in particular. But on occasion they will vacate the shoreline for nearby open water that is 4 to 6 feet deep.
Best advice: Join us on an outing. Reading is one thing. Seeing and doing is another.
Good luck,Mark
