Nice job man! How was the launch at Terrapin, ok? What kind of place was it and would you put in there again?

Nice going bro!

I love the equation in the end!

How long was the paddle to the sewer pipe?

I picked this book up when I got stationed here the first time (2001) and it stays in the bookstand next to my recliner. It has lots of pictures...so it has helped shallow up my pool of ignorance.

LOL. Looks like a good book, CP.

Yep... shad, herring and menhaden (plus sardines), all in the same family, Clupeidae. Here's a link to the "Fish Facts" section of the MD-DNR website. Bookmark this page for future reference. Just about every fish you can catch or snag in Maryland waters is described in laymen's terms along with good pictures.

Thanks for the link, Howard. Very useful.

Hi Alan. It's not perfect, but it gets me to the eastern side. It's a little under a 1/2 mile walk + 25 yds of sand. The walk isn't bad with a cart, but the sand is a pain at the end of the day when you're tired. I'm looking into getting a cart with more sand friendly wheels which should help things. Additionally, the beach is pretty crowded in the summer afternoons which adds to the difficulty when dragging the kayak back to the main path. Again, a sand friendly cart should help a lot.

Hi Mustafa-According to my gps it's a little over 1 mile 'as the crow flies' to the deeper part of the pipe that has been productive for me recently.
