Big pickerel in the Severn

[J.A. Veil]

Last Sunday I caught a pickerel of 23.25" in a Severn tributary. This tied my best from all last winter. Today, I fished in another mid-Severn tributary. I only caught 4 pickerel today, but one of them equaled last week's beast of 23.25". Here is a picture of the one I got today. I don't know why the color looks a little funky.



The fish hit a 4" Gulp swimming mullet in pumpkinseed color.

Nice fish! I was out in Weems Creek this afternoon post high tide. I caught four pickerel in an hour and a half.Smallest was 16" and the largest was 18 1/2". The Storm 3" wild eye swim shad was the best producer. One fish hit the Worden's super rooster tail in yellow with a silver blade (haven't failed to catch a fish on any trip this season on this lure). What a great afternoon on the water.

Nice fish, John! You did a lot better than I did. I headed out around 1:00 at the peak of a really high tide. I swear every boat owner in AA county was tearing up and down the river. Some guy went by in a 40+ foot gofast. I could literally feel the vibration probably a quarter of a mile away. You can imagine the effect that had on fishing...
