So here's the deal. Next week looks like several days in the upper 40's to lower 50's. As of yesterday, the perch weren't biting at Beechwood Park (Magothy) and I am thinking of a trip to the Eastern Shore to do some Crappie and Bass fishing.
I'll open it up to anyone who wants to go. I have a place with several large fishable ponds that can accomodate lots of anglers. Plan to drive your own vechicle (or if only three or four go I can drive). Lots of parking available.
I anticipate the day to look like this:
1) 9 am go to Clydes get shiners
2) 10 am leave for the shore
3) 11:30 arrive at a little local store for subs or sandwiches
4) 12 noon walk back to ponds (hunting boots or LL Bean boots are best)
5) 12:30 arrive at ponds and start fishing
6) fish until just before dark
7) get a hamberger for the ride home
8) get home around 7:30 pm (if you drive, you can leave whenever you want)
You will need freshwater liscense, bucket or bubbler for shiners, small amount of tackle (small hooks, bobbers,any lures you want-mepps #3 or 4 work great, rod, reel, shoes/boots that can get muddy).
We will be walking for about 15-20 minutes to reach the very back ponds, some are closer (5 min walk) if you have kids or can't walk far.
We will be in the wild, no bathrooms around.
There's enough water/ponds to accomodate as many people as want to come.
I'm thinking Wed or Thurs for the trip.
Anyone want to go? I haven't fished these ponds for a while, but they have been quite productive in the past. There are enough ponds, that you can jump from one pond to another all day. I like to take a small backpack with dry socks, water bottle and whatever else you want to take. One item I have found invaluable is a small pair of your wife's pruning pliers to cut your way into a sweet looking spot to fish. Take a pair of fishing pliars to get the chain pickeral off the hook as well!!!
Lets go
