After hearing of the opportunities of Weems Creek and the Tucker St launch from recent posts and conversations, I decided to give it a try. I didn't have much time. It was after work, and I was tired, but still wanted to get out. My chair almost won the battle of "Should I say, or should I go?" but I went anyway - just to take a look.
Naturally, I decided to launch. As I push off from the ramp, I slowly started drifting downstream. The falling tide and slight breeze made the pace perfect to leisurely cast to the riprap and docks. Almost immediately, I started connecting with good sized perch on a pink Super Rooster Tail. I stopped counting after a dozen. All were between 9-11 inches and I barely lifted my paddle.
As I approached the mouth, I set out some trolling rigs that came up empty. I returned as dark set in, completely satisfied with my decision to take it slow and easy. The hardest part of the whole trip was loading the boat at the end.
I will certainly return to this spot as it was super easy to access. I have had my eye on some oyster beds on the far side of the Severn and I think it will be easier to access from here than Jonas Greene.
