Homeport Park

[J. Rentch]

Thinking the winds might be up this morning, I launched from Homeport Park around 8. I trolled two rods with a 4" swim shad & a 3/4 jig with a large paddletail. About 2/3 down the creek I hooked a nice fat 18" on the 4"swim shad. Headed for rocks on right side point- hooked one schooly. Moved over to point on left side by wooded bulkhead and landed a nice 22". Paddled out of mouth to right and left-nothing. Landed a 16" near white buoy at mouth. Tried casting a popper for a while-had a few hits but no hookups. Got off water by 10. Guess the cloud cover knocked down the winds this AM.

Hi John, I hit it at around 3:30 this afternoon–wound up with an 18 inch or right side rip rap. The winds picked up fiercely add that to the monstrous boat traffic and it was quite an adventure. Good thing I love paddling as much as fishing!

[J. Rentch]

The rip rap is a good spot for me as well as a point on the left closer to the mouth. Really enjoy Home port, not much fishing pressure-yet! Nice

john, Harlan,

You guys are locked in there.

Good jobs.

It is a nice spot. Wish I could get there more often.

Homeport is the closest launch to my house, but I have only been there once. The convenience of Jonas/Weems is too much to pass up most days. But maybe I should be less lazy.

The fish were biting again today at Homeport. I caught 13 stripers to 20" in 2.5 hours -- most were fat 16"-17" fish. All fish hit 3" or 4" paddletails. The wind was not too bad. The water level was low. There were few leaves floating on the surface. Very soon the trees will unload their leaves and make trolling in that creek impractical for a while.

Drew,
Home port is a nice alternative to the Severn when the winds are howling.

How is launching there without a cart? It seems like a good distance from the car to the water.

[J. Rentch]

It's about 200 yds to water on a slight downhill walk. Could be difficult without a cart.

According to the distance estimator on Google maps,it is about 400 ft from the parking area to the shoreline. You could carry a kayak with a partner, but to come back uphill carrying a 65-80 lb fishing kayak by yourself would be quite a chore.

Thanks for the quick responses- I may head elsewhere if I'm heading out alone. Does the creek hold pickerel in the colder months?

[J. Rentch]

To be determined, but hopefully
