Upper Severn River

I fished this morning with dsiekman from his community beach. We didn't hit the water until 09:00. The water was flat calm with no wind to start. We hit a few spots with nothing to show and then headed to an area on the Crownsville side of the river. I was able to pick up a 14" red and a 15+" rockfish along with a few perch. The fish were in there thick on the ff but were on the move. I lost them after about 30mins. A 4" Gulp mullet worked today.
There were many pods of bait on the surface but I couldn't get a bite from any of the ones I cast to. Thanks again Doug. It is always fun exploring new waters.

Cool. Thanks for the report.

It was good meeting you in the parking lot this morning. I'm glad you guys got into a few. I have been chasing a Red all season. Really wish I could catch one before the get out of here. Here are some of the shots as you guys launced.

Nice to meet you too. You sent us to the right spot! Thanks.

Hey Ed, great fishing with you today. Sorry about the slow action. I couldn't stand the poor outcome so I headed back out about 5:30. Scored a solid 19" rock in the first spot we hit this morning. Polar Rock was down at the pier and got a shot of him. Actually, it was pretty funny. Here I am, trying to untangle myself - the fish managed to tangle himself, me, and various parts of the yak in my other line on the way in - and out of the blue I hear, "way to go, Doug!". I respond to no one in particular, "Thanks!". Turns out Polar had come down to the beach (probably a quarter mile away) with his dog and saw me get hooked up. Much better way to end the day!

Thanks, Polar Rock!

All right, biggest fish of the day!
