Patuxent perch

[Jacksoncuda12]

The solarluna table looked good this morning for the Patuxent River. Launched at Jefferson Patterson Park around 6:15 a.m. and got into the perch right away. The high tide had them pushed against the plentiful rock structures along the shoreline. Using a chartreuse 1/4 oz Perch Pounder, I caught a nice mess of perch, some approaching 12". These plus at least an equal number of throwbacks were caught in less than an hour. Hated to leave them biting but had jobs to do.

Good Deal! That Chartreuse Perch Pounder is money right now! Thanks for a great report and the picture.

There are several perch pounders out there. Are you talking about Capt Berts?

Yep, Capt.Bert’s Chartreuse perch pounders are a “go to” lure for our area White Perch in stained water. When the water clarity is pretty clear I choose white...

Thanks Ron.

I was looking at the JPP website and map,, Where they show on the map it does not look like you can get close to the water?? maybe 50-100'??
Can you launch from the "point" at the south end of the park?

Also, website says they open at 7:30,, can you launch earlier??

The gate was open at 6:00 a.m. on Saturday. I think the gate is open according to the season. If you enter the first gate, signage will get you to the kayak launch.
