Friday fishing

[ronaultmtd]

I am planning an exploratory trip this afternoon to a new spot (for me) to check out a creek that looks pretty fishy and has had a lot of Gene Mueller ink over the past few years with nice catches of snakeheads and big bass- going to launch at Friendship Landing around one pm and fish until dead low tide this evening- Mann's Baby minus one- chatterbaits, weightless flukes, spinner baits and frogs will all get a good workout- I always take my Ultra Light Pflueger Supreme/Fish Eagle 6 ft combo with me fresh water fishing- and usually that is what I end up using 95% of the time- It is a blast to get a big fish on 6# test- if it is slow this afternoon, I plan to find some deep holes and anchor up with bunker on a fish finder rig and see how big the Blue Cats grow there-

Good luck. I'm headed to Jonas Green in a few. I think I've given up on turkeys...

Good luck guys! I hit a local stream this morning for some trout action and had a good time catching and releasing 7 rainbow trout and 1 brown trout 11-13 inches.

Way to go Ryan. We certainly are fortunate to have some many different ways to fish and species to catch in our region. As much as Maryland anglers like to gripe about better fishing in the "good old days", we still have plenty of opportunities.

Have fun exploring the new territory.

Went this morning for snakeheads with mytmouse on the Anacostia (pier fishing). No luck. Saw some topwater splashes...had one follow my lure. That was about it.

A few smallish perch around some docks at Jonas Green. And my first croaker of the year, a 5-incher! Winds sorta picked up some I headed in.

On another note, it's apparent this was my first outing of the year...

Agreed, my only gripe is that I wish I had more time to utilize more great fishing opportunities in MD!

Glad to hear some perch are around JG already. I'm hoping to get out there before the end of the month for some perch and crabs.

One of the guy's at Angler's mentioned that croaker were being caught as well. I didn't get into any really (aside from the juvie) but I didn't fish long or get out into the channel. It was kinda windy, my drifts were super fast, and I'm too outta shape to deal with it. lol.

I also got out for a nice day of rainbow trout fishing. 1st fish was a nice 16"er. The next 4 filled out my limit and were average in size. Awesome day to be out.

Had a fun afternoon- launched at 2:15 p.m. at Nanjemoy creek - breezy and the wind made it hard to hold position for casting lures into the shallows- caught lots of fish- could not keep the white perch off the lures- I caught a dozen- my biggest was 11 inches- Cut one in half and dropped it in a deep hole- bang- 24 inch blue cat- then another about the same- decided I didn't want to catch a mess of blue cats so I pulled up the anchor and went back to casting lures- six small bass- a yellow perch and a big blue catfish- the tide was ebbing and I was tired so I called it a day and headed in- all in all a pretty good day-
