Hey fellas, first time reporting so let me know if there is anything missing or anything that needs improving for next time.
Trolled the lower Severn out of Jonas Green yesterday from about 6:15-1:30. Had a 1oz. and 1/2oz. Zman SwimmerZ in pearl running about 50 feet back and a Bomber white/chartreuse crankbait running at about 12-15 feet deep. Headed north to the 301 bridge to start, then went back down past Jonas Green across from the Naval Academy near Carr Point. Water clarity was really poor, only about 2 feet tops, and leaf litter caused the usual problems for this time of year. Water checked in at 52 degrees throughout the day. I was marking fish mostly within 10 feet of the bottom in 25-30 feet of water. A lot were scattershot but I saw a few small schools and generally way more fish below Jonas Green than above by the 301 bridge. Moved back north along the western shore, then back to the 301 bridge and got ready to call it a day. Not even a thump at that point, which in typical angler fashion I will firmly blame on the muddy water haha! Before packing it in I went back down the eastern side from the 301 bridge towards Jonas Green, and right near the channel marker my crankbait rod started zipping drag hard and bent so far I thought it would snap. I tightened drag and looked up to a monster rock with his fin above the water, making a run to deep water. Luckily his path to deeper water sent him right at my yak, and I was able to flip him onto my lap. In the end, he was a 29” and my personal best by a foot. Pictures attached. This is cheesy, but thank you guys for being a great community. I’ve been reading and reading for over 3 months on SnaggedLine and you guys have provided so much valuable information that has made my time on the water much more productive. Especially Yakscientist, who has shared loads of great info. Best of luck in these winter months guys!
