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- 4/1/2010

The weather finally began to clear up after several days of misery so I took advantage of the passing front and went kayak fishing in little round bay. I caught white perch in depths of 3-4 feet near fallen trees and reeds using a beetle spinner with 4lb test. I decided to go for a paddle, just for kicks, and threw a 1.5 oz gold kast master about 70 feet behind me and paddled at a normal rate. As I was rounding a corner near a dock, I got snagged on a log. As I turned around to right my equipment, I found that the log was actually pulling me...almost like a striper fight! When I landed it, turns out, it was a striper- about 20". Apparently they are here!

Water temp: 50
Air temp: 70
Wind: 0-1 mph gust
Tide: mid to high
Sky: baby blue
Time: 1700
Method(s): Casting beetle spinner in shallows by structure. Trolling kast master in 20-14 feet of water.
Pertinent info: Weather beginning to stabilize after days of low pressure system.
