Here is the initial announcement for the December Meet & Greet.
When: Saturday, Dec 10, 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Your co-hosts: John Veil (J.A. Veil), Mark Bange (Mark), and John Rentch (J. Rentch)
Where: Our primary launch site is Jonas Green Park located underneath the Rt. 450 Bridge that crosses the Severn River near the Naval Academy. There are at least three other public access points to the Severn River near Annapolis:
1) Tucker St. ramp in west Annapolis that leads into Weems Creek
2) Truxton Park that leads into Spa Creek
3) Back Creek Water Park that leads into Back Creek.
Note that trailers may not be parked at Jonas Green or Tucker St. launch points. The Back Creek Water Park has a very small parking area and no formal launch ramp. There is an inclined ramp covered with plastic plates for sliding a kayak into the water but no access for a trailer to that ramp.
If you are planning to participate and launch from any site other than Jonas Green please let Mark, John, or me know by stating your plans on this thread.
John, Mark, and/or I will be at Jonas Green at 7:00 a.m. to greet you and share our insights on where to fish.
What fish can you expect? Stripers may be present in the deeper waters and channel edges of the Severn for trolling with paddletails, crankbaits, or other trolling lures. The debris piles from the original Route 450 Bridge (near the present bridge) or the old railroad bridge (one end is near Manresa) may yield stripers or white perch by jigging. The pilings of the Route 50 Bridge may also produce stripers by deep water jigging. The most likely species we’ll catch are pickerel that inhabit the creeks and tidal ponds along the Severn. This is light tackle, shallow water fishing. 1/8 oz. lures and live minnows on 1/8 oz. jig-heads cast to shoreline structure or quiet pools will be your most productive techniques.
If you are able to catch any other species (besides striper, pickerel, or white perch) in the Severn or its tributaries that day and bring a photo of your catch to the lunch, we will award you a lure.
You can review last year’s post for this event to get some information on how to fish for pickerel http://www.snaggedline.com/showthrea...hlight=red+hot.
Safety Alert: The water will be quite cold by then. Please plan accordingly and wear appropriate protective gear. Participation is solely at each person’s discretion. Your decision to fish or not fish should be based on the weather conditions that day, your own equipment, and your level of experience.
On water communication: We will use VHF Channel 68.
Lunch: At 1:00 p.m., we will meet for lunch at Red, Hot & Blue barbecue restaurant at the Bay Dale Drive exit off of Rt. 50 east of Annapolis. http://redhotandblue.com/annapolis/
How to sign up: If you wish to join us, please reply to this thread with your intention to: a) fish, and/or b)come to the lunch that day (you can do one or the other or both).
Mark, John, and I look forward to seeing you at this last Meet & Greet of 2016.
