For a change of scenery I decided to fish the Severn Yesterday morning. I was hoping to continue with the same progress I made last summer with the stripers. Trolled my waypoints from past outings with no luck. My favorite spot...trolling the same side as Jonas Green up closer to the Rt 50 bridge closer to the three small flagged buoys. Making numerous passes, only picked up one ambitious perch on a smaller crankbait.
I fished the 450 bridge pylons with bloodworms and picked up a handful of smaller white perch. Then I pursued south of the 450 bridge for the first time trolling a few paddletails and larger roadrunners. I followed the Naval sea wall down to Spa Creek. Between the boat traffic and floating grass, I had no confidence of hooking up, but being that close to the Naval Academy kept my attention. Still a beautiful day fishing with Yakkinfish18 and yakhooker19.
On a personal note, I have not caught a keeper size striper since the catch and release season on the Susquehanna Flats. I have been searching for a nice resident rockfish but have not hooked up with anything over 17". I did catch my first Atlantic Needlefish on the Susquehanna last week. A beautiful and unique fish, reminded me of a ribbon fish with a gar-like snout. I was really excited to snap a few picks when it worked itself of the hook and was headed towards my man region. I panicked and quickly launched the fish a good 20 yards, embarrassingly I quickly threw my lines back in the water and continued my quest.
