Welcome!

Welcome to my Severn River, MD fishing log. I am attempting to compile information about angling on this wonderful tributary. I've lived here all my life, but have only recently tried to "dial in" the intricacies of my home field. My goal for this blog is to record each day that I go fishing, the weather conditions, fishing technique, and subsequent results. Perhaps, with enough data, I can even begin to define some Severn-specific fishing style that I can pass on to the next generation! Please feel free to contribute to my blog and if you are a local angler, I encourage you to share your thoughts or critique mine. I am, after all, only a student of life. Thanks for stopping by and check in often!

Fishing Log- 3/30/2010

No go today. Brought my tackle box in and de-winterized most of my tackle. I restrung my ultra-light ugly stik with some cheap 4lb mono. My reel continues to be a Penn 420 ssg. I really love this setup- you get a good sporty fight, even with the little perch. I did actually cast a little bit in the shallows by my pier, but it was very overcast, cold, windy, and rainy. I also had a cranky girlfriend upstairs so I only casted a few times with no avail. Tomorrow is supposed to be nicer and the weekend beautiful. Hopefully we'll even get the boat in! My goal this week is to catch the first pickerel of the season. Pray for tight lines!

Water temp: 46
Air temp: 45
Wind: 10 mph NW
Tide: high
Sky: very gray overcast. Raining.
Time: 1800
Method(s): Casting 2" pink bass-assassin on plain jig hook. Dragging on bottom, bouncing on bottom, retrieving near surface in 2'- 5'.
Pertinent info: High wind and rain for previous 4 days- R/O fish inactivity due to unstable weather. R/O time to fish due to cranky girlfriend.



Praying for better days for everyone- especially her!

Fishing Log- 3/29/2010

First fish of the 2010 season! Ok, so it wasn't the most spectacular start to the season- one 8" white perch- but it means that warm weather is a real possibility at this point! Amazing that we had 4+ feet of snow only a few weeks ago and now there's buds on the trees and peepers singing on river road!
My season kick-off fish was a majestic white perch that I caught from my brother's kayak. I caught it by the rock jetty across from Bonaparte beach using a 1oz gold kastmaster. I casted from shallow water and did a hop and sink action near the surface. I was going for pickerel, but I'm not complaining... Not yet!

Water temp: 46
Air temp: 50
Wind: 4-5 mph S
Tide: high
Sky: gray overcast
Time: 1645
Method(s): trolling with 1oz gold kastmaster at edge of piers- unsuccussful! Casting same lure and jigging at mid waterline- successful!

Pertinent info: High wind and rain for previous 3 days- R/O fish inactivity due to unstable weather.

Introduction


Hello to anyone who stumbles upon this blog! I used Google to help me organize my fishing results and techniques in the Severn River, in Anne Arundel county, Maryland. Not a whole lot has been published on this particular region, so I am pretty much starting my technique from scratch. Hopefully, one day I'll be able to make a pattern out of my log results and maybe even develop a few Severn-specific fishing techniques. Perhaps this info will even orient some future anglers to this area. Anyway, please feel free to contribute to the blog! My name is Steven and I can be emailed at steventhehistorian@gmail.com
