Susquehanna Flats Kayak Fishing Jamboree

[reel-em-in]

How did everyone do? Where's the pics!?
.

I'm wondering the same thing. No pics or reports yet makes those of us who have to live vicariously through the rest of you sad...

I fished the flats on Friday for a few hours. Nothing. I saw a bunch of other guys out...with nothing to show for their efforts. Hopefully Saturday was better.

I'm dying here waiting for all the Flats reports. For the past week, I've been watching the Havre deGrace CBIBS bouy data for water turbidity and temperature like a starving hawk. Seems it's taking forever for the Susky to settle down and clear up. As of today, turbidity reads indicate clarity is about 18" (barely acceptable) and temps are hovering around 51F, (55F-60F would have been better).

in short: for the most part it sucked. The weather was beautiful. The biggest striper caught was 46". A monster. The other two were 34" & 28" that placed (Grilled had the 28").

I trolled for hours just like everyone else. No love from the stripers.

Skunked again...put in so many miles, I need an oil change. Water clarity was a huge factor. As of this morning, the dam is still in spill conditions with zero gates open. Turbidity is thankfully dropping, water temps were right on...50.5 degrees. The stripers are there, they just cant see

Based on the available intel, water temps and previous week reports I didn't even launch. Plenty of shad in Deer Creek. :-)

The event was great, good times, good stories and the bbq was excellent. Now that the event is over there will probably be many reports this week!

Congrats to Len for that fish of a lifetime! Looks forward to seeing the pics.

Water was very cloudy, highest temps on the grass beds got up to about 55 degrees later in day, Skunked again, but had a great time!....Jack

I just got back from the flats (again today). I wasn't fishing but decided to take the wife on a hike along the susquehanna trail. Rock Run by the mill was full of herring. I could have watched them for a long time but the wife, eh, not so much. She got tired of hearing me talk about fishing. We saw a ton of toads mating, as well as a pair of very large turtles. Love was in the air, so those stripers must be around. Everything else is.

After the hike we went to Tydings to have some food water side at the Promenade Grill. Looking over the flats, no boats. Wind was pushing up water from the south. It looked pretty muddy to me still.
