No Luck on the Magothy

[Magothyman]

Launched this morning (Monday) at 10 am to calm waters and low tide. Trolled my favorite spots near Ferry Point and Cool Spring Cove and Spriggs Pond for two hours with no luck at all--no hits, nothing at all. Haven't landed a fish in three trips in the last 7 days. Not marking any, either. I think they've gone back down towards the Bay at this point. I was encouraged by the posts in the Main Forum about continuing action on the Severn--may have to take a trip over there. Good luck to all--Al

Tide phase makes all the difference in the bite- never had much luck at low tide any where

Yea, I think they've moved closer to Dobbins and the mouth. I did well on Saturday across from Dobbins.

Thanks--maybe I'll try to go out of Spriggs this week. Al

I was on the Magothy yesterday afternoon and failed to find any stripers. I launched at Lake Claire to a strongly flooding tide, fished the mouth and ran up to Dobbins. Nada.....

These fish, lol. I'm going out tomorrow around 1. I'll report back.

On the lower Magothy now. Cant keep my hooks clear of leaves. No fish to speak of.

No fish caught in the river today. But managed a 20 and a 25 outside the mouth heading toward the light house. Water started getting rough so I cut the trip short. 25 was caught on white 1.5oz. Bucktail with twistertail in about 18ft.

Congrats on leaving limited!

Thanks, SUP!

This afternoon I launched onto the lower Magothy again. It was low tide so I decided to head straight out into the bay. Fished 16-18 feet of water. The wind and water were relatively calm. Very little activity in the 18ft range where I was successful earlier in the week. The fish seemed to have move slightly shallower to 16 feet. Maybe that's a negligible shift, but that's where the fish were. Those two feet were a night and day difference for me today - at least for marking fish. The action was slow. Managed three fish in two hours, all of which were 20 inches on the button. All three were caught on white 1.5oz bucktails with twister tails. Nothing else was touched.
