There are many newer kayak anglers who are looking for fishing buddies or opportunities to learn new spots or techniques. In earlier years, there were monthly Meet and Greets that provided opportunities to meet other people and fish in different spots around the region. Typically these were on Sat mornings. Sadly, those have been few and far between in recent years.
As a retired guy, I don't fish often on weekends, particularly when it involves crossing the Bay Bridge. I have the luxury of fishing on weekdays, when vehicle traffic is lighter on the roads and boat/kayak traffic is lighter on the water. Although I recognize that many Snaggedline members are not available to fish tomorrow, anyone who is available and interested is invited to join me and two other retired guys (Gary and Don) to fish out of Jackson Creek Landing. This is a beach launch into the Chester River located a mile or two east of Kent Narrows. There are opportunities for trolling (I did well trolling in 3' to 6' near shore and catching quite a few stripers last year) and marshy areas and tidal ponds for casting to points and shorelines. Kent Narrows can be reached, but be prepared for strong currents there.
The wind for tomorrow is projected to be 7 to 9 mph from the S and SW. The Grasonville land mass provides pretty good shelter from winds from that direction. High tide is about 5:00 am, and low tide is about 11:00. As a general rule, fish bite better when the tidal current is moving. I plan to launch by 7:00 am and fish until about 11:00.
If any Snaggedline members want to join us, feel free. You can contact me by pmail today if you have questions. For communication on the water, I will use a VHF radio on channel 68. Be advised that this is one of the Queen Anne's County launch spots. You must have a ramp pass sticker on your vehicle or risk getting ticketed. Ramp passes can be purchased at Anglers tackle shop at $10 for the day or $35 for the full year.
