No furlough for the fish today. I found hungry stripers in 3-5 feet depth near the mouth of the Severn. I trolled 4 rods with a variety of different lures to see what the fish wanted. Today, all the fish came on 4" Gulp swimming mullets and 12 Fathoms 3" Fat Sam mullets. None of the other hard plastic lures, Storm swim shads, or other plastics were touched today.
Today in 2 hours of steady trolling I caught 12 stripers up to 20".

I also had a 17.5", 17", and three 16" fish. They pulled hard on the light to medium spinning rods. I launched today from the Ellen Moyer water park off of Edgewood Rd which put me into Back Creek. Including the trip to and from the ramp to the target fishing area, I paddled steadily for 3.5 hours covering over 8 miles. My shoulders are sore, but I am happy.
The Severn River Rod and Keg Club (SRRKC) starts its month-long tournament today (Rocktoberfest). Today's fish should put me on the leaderboard on day 1. If anyone is interested, registration remains open until Oct 9. But you cannot enter a fish until you have paid the fee.
