Yuuuuup!

[Rockchaser]

I'm in. Where do you think we will launch from. I will have to google it and figure out how long it will take me to get there.

Same here.

Did we pick a time, or just whenever you feel like showing up...which would be fine so that no one sees all my awkward fumbling with my equipment until I get in the water

I'm still in and will just follow everyone elses lead on launch location and lunch.

A lot depends on where you are coming from. There is a very good local tackle shop in North East, MD called Herbs Tackle Shop. If you are coming from the south, it is a bit out of the way, but Ele, the co-owner and manager of the shop is all geared up for northern bay fishing. Her son, Mike Benjamin, runs yellow perch charters most days, so she may have some tips.

Currently, the forecasted temps for saturday in Perryville look pretty stiff!
High of only 32 and low of 22! Eeek!

In this case I think I will want a hot lunch. I made a reservation for approximately 15 people at Tidewater Grille at 1 pm. Hopefully, we will have some others that would like to get out of the cold for lunch.

The main launch point will be Jean Roberts Memorial Park. If folks would like to launch at other spots nearby feel free. I don't think the parking lot will be too crowded with people other than our group, but if it gets too full, there is the possibility of street parking as Yak fish mentioned.

Launch time will be around 9 am.

Looking forward to the plastic armada on the Susky!

In the past few days, more reports of decent YP catches are coming in (see http://www.tidalfish.com/forums/show...Cindy-02-05-12). The successful anglers are not fishing the deep hole in front of the Perryville Owens condos but are looking for creek mouths.

I don't know if anyone in our group has much local knowledge of places to fish other than at Owens. We also should keep an eye on Conowingo Dam releases. Trying to fish from a kayak in a high flow condition is not practical or safe.

remind me of launch time.......

I thought I'd try a little recon mission and went to Joppatown to look for YP and crappie. I got there around 2 and fished to 6:30, getting awarded my first skunk in over a year...I had a nice productive streak going until then so I was a little angry with that. I had some gear issues which attributed to the skunk. I'd seen 2 guys fishing from shore who'd caught 3 each, 4 keepers. So the numbers aren't exactly there either. At least not that I could find. I fished in about 10' of water. Chalk it up as another data point.

Did you make it up into the quarry? Atleast you tried...

I know of a couple creek mouth type spots that could potentially be holding yellow perch right now, but problem one is I'm only speculated based on past experience and problem two is they are pretty skinny areas that would'nt really support the number of people we have potentially set to go to the M&G.

Thats being said, unless anyone has a definitive good spot nearby, I think we should still go to the Susky, we can fish shallower water there and hopefully some people get into some nice catfish too..
