Woke up at o'dark thirty yesterday and drove down to some park in the Socialist Republic of Maryland off the Severn River. Fished for about 8 hours out of a boat - started trolling the bay for strippers, err, stripers and got nothing. Neither did any of the other boats I saw. So we went back to pounding the shore lines and ponds formed from inlets of the Severn & scored big.
Stripers (nothing legal, but had a big one one and lost it), blue fish (man they got teeth!), a 18" pickerel, and plenty of white perch. Nice day and slept like a baby last night.
Start of a beautiful day
The forecast called for light winds but a threat of T-Storms after noon. And hot!
As we motored out of Spa Creek, some of the big boats and their babies were docked up.... black boat in the back's for sale - $21 million - such a deal.
We caught a few but the pesky stripers kept taking our offerings!
Caught a bunch of these white perch .... good eat'n but we released them all
Caught a 18" pickerel - which I understand is rare for this creek
And lunch was on me - 1/2 pound of pastrami & corned beef & a 1/4 pound of provolone per sandwich. We both ate the whole thing

Nice little boats, may god those things are big!
