I really want to fish at the Bay Bridge. I don't know much about fishing there but it sounds like a blast. I watch a guy named Kayak Kevin on YouTube. He fishes it allot and crushes it.

Kayak Kevin does land some amazing fish! If you plan on fishing the bridge it's best on a week day or early in the morning. Always keep your head on a swivel out there...I've had a few issues with boaters not paying attention out there. But there are always people willing to make the trip out too, just make a post and most likely someone will tag along. Tight lines!
The easiest way to learn the Bay Bridge is to attend the yearly CBKA tournament... a ton of us head there and fish for the day. The CBKA is probably the most fun you will have kayak fishing. There is a meet up the night before, you can stay the night at the launch site, then launch the next morning and fish all day, then at the end of the day there is a nice awards ceremony and more food and drinks... it is really a ton of fun.
Last year I came within a half of placing in the largest Rock fish portion of the contest.. and I SUCK at fishing.
lol I'm not too sure about going to a tournament. Maybe after I learn the waters better.

Awesome. I'm thinking about going out next Saturday in the early morning.
Thanks for the invite. Got house/work duties to take care of in the morning. I might launch somewhere in the afternoon. We will definitely need to fish together!

My first time fishing in the Bay, and my first time fishing from a kayak was at this tournament. A person lent me his spare kayak.. I have been an avid kayak fisherman since.
Please don't be intimidated by the word "trounament". It is really a low key affair and resembles more of a meet and greet than a tournament. It is a meet and greet where they hand out prizes for particular catches. I am glad I went that first year and look forward to it every year. Go to the CBKA site and check it out.. if you want a partner, I will be willing to partner up with you.. or someone else will be happy too as well.. honestly there is around 30 of us that launch from that site and we all paddle up to the bridge together (more or less).
People who use the word "literally" wrong literally kill me.
Haven't been yet. What launch and what time? I was thinking of going down to Mariner Point and paddle over to Days Cove first light Saturday morning to see if I could get any top water bite.
BTW, how did you snag one of the Loch Raven permits? What was the process like?

If you cross the Dam and turn down the road towards Port Deposit there is a ball field down on the right. I hear you can drop in down there. I've seen the trail just never been there before. I have to record some video for Berkley in the morning and it'll be a great scenery there. You Should come. I'm down to fish Joppatowne in the evening on Saturday though.
The Loch Raven sticker is a SOB to get. I camped out over night to get it a few years ago. I had a flat bottom boat I took out there.
This is my first year for my kayak fishing, actually saltwater fishing as well.... I moved to DE a few years ago due to my employer.... I decided to go for flounders since I was told that it was relatively easy to catch them, but looks like I picked a wrong year for it because I haven't caught any keeper and the report keeps saying how slow it is. Oh well, there is always next year. I usually stick to CHSP or Lewes Canal.
