I'd like to introduce myself
Hi all,
I'd like to introduce myself before going on to beg for fishing advice, if I may. I grew up in northern Indiana (Go Irish) before moving to Annapolis about 5 years ago for work. A few years back, as I was literally sitting in the middle of the desert in the Middle East I decided i wanted to take up fishing. A desert is probably either the most logical or least logical place to come up with such an idea, I guess. I only fished once before in my entire lif. I remember catching a fish, putting it in a bucket, and 5 mins later it promptly leaped out of the bucket, back into the pond. Great start. So anyways, as I said a few years back I decided if I'm going to live on the Chesapeake Bay I damn well better learn to fish. I bought myself a light pole, nothing too fancy, and since then I've figured out how to use blood worms and bottom lures to catch a ton of spot and perch in the Annapolis (ANP) area. I'd lie if I said I was even a novice fisherman however, since I dont really understand how to fish with lures. Whats a jig? Whats a top lure or a spider jig? These are things I'd love to learn. So this weekend I plan to get out early Saturday morning and hopefully try to catch some pickerals in Weems Creek, which i've never tried for, so if anyone has some advice, I surely need it. Thanks guys! |
If you can get over to West End bar / grill in Annapolis Weds 7th at 7 pm - group of fishermen are meeting. We meet in the room to right as you enter.
It's Severn River Rod and Keg Club ( SRRKC ). Informal group but lots of fishing experience and most will share info. As far as Pickerel - they tend to bite best in colder months , Oct - March. They can be caught other times but it's tougher. Warmer water temps. also can lead to them dying after C/R fishing. |
Ah well I dont want to be killing anything so maybe I'll just try to catch whatever I can with these lures i dont understand! I appreciate the heads up.
As for the West End Grill I'll have to take a rain check. I have a small child and thats right in the middle of feeding and bath time. Dont want to anger the wife if I wanna go fishing this weekend. Thanks! |
Got nothing to offer on the pikes but welcome to the board. A lot less traffic than some other fishing boards but good quality of people here. Good luck this weekend!!
