I made it out there this AM too ... was on the water by about 8:45.
When I was coming across the bridge, I saw one of you going under the south span in a blue yak (paddling)
I parked next to the person who had an inflatable set of cross bars w/ a Montgomery College sticker.
It definitely blew harder than they were predicting. I kept paddling up to the south span and drifting south for spot. I put a few in my live well but got tired of continuously fighting the wind and chop so I bagged it by around 10 and went to plan 'B' -- Jonas Green.
I figured the Severn would be a little more sheltered. I was on the water there by about 10:45. Turned out to be a good call. Once I put in, I started working the shore line to the west and concentrated on the piers and working the shadows. On the first pier 29' boat w/ Osprey Nest, I caught 20 + three inch spot and that started geting boring. Working further west I found some piers with deeper slips up to 12' -- those were the ticket. I hammered some really nice chunky perch and had a significant # of double headers.
I also had a first in my fishing career -- i cast in under one of the piers and hit a pretty good perch. Reeled him in and immediately began taking the hook out of his lip while doing that, I noticed there's fish line running down into his mouth. It turns out that was my other hook. The greedy b%$%$ actually ate both of my baits and I hooked him twice.
Anyhow --worked all the way up to Manresa and back called it a day around 4 when I started to get dehydrated.
All in all it was a good day and made the dozen bloodworms worth the $$
p.s. -- only used half dozen rest went to some shore fisherman back at JG.
Maybe the weatherman can get the bay forecast right next time and I'll head back out to the bridge.
