The Flats

[Backdoc]

I plan on taking my kayak out Saturday AM for the fifth time since getting it a few weeks ago. I am really hooked. I was hoping to fish the flats but I have heard that it is about a 30 minute paddle from Tydings Marina. Can I put in anywhere closer? Thanks.

Tydings is on the Northwest corner of the Flats, maybe it would be 30 minute paddle going really slow? If you wanted to fish the east side of the Flats there is also Perryville community park, which may be a little less of a paddle.

Ok, Thanks.

I could probably swim to the flats in less than 30 minutes. Once you leave the marina and reach the first green buoy...the magic starts to happen

speaking hypothetically of course......can't even make it up the steps without heavy breathing!

Looks like we got a few Harford County Boys on here, flats fishing, Perryville Park, Gene Roberts Park, Tydings Park

Thanks for all of the advice. My friend Chris and I have decided to put in at Tydings about 5 am and fish until 9. Throwing topwater trying to get into some stripers. If anyone else is going I will be the little guy in the red Tarpon 120.

good luck backdoc. Catch em up, and thanks for your service. I think we all take those who protect our freedom for granted!

I fished the flats a few times during warmer weather, last time I was ( a couple of weeks ago) the water temp was 82-83 and notice dead zones on the FF. Try to find cooler water. I am launching out of Mariner Point in the AM. Unfortunately the gate does not open until 7:00am.
