Default Caught a Blue in brackish water today....

My son and I have a small 10' boat that's perfect for ponds or putting around the upper reaches of rivers and creeks.

Today we went way back in the Little Magothy River which is fed by natural springs and runoff. I've caught Pickerel, White and Yellow Perch, Bluegill, Redear, catfish, Rockfish and Pumpkinseed back there.

But today, a feisty 13" Blue decided to hit my tiny little lure.

I haven't encountered ANY Blues out in the bay yet (been fishing north of the Magothy) so it seems really weird to find this one so far upstream. I guess the lack of rain has gotten even the uppermost areas of the rivers and creeks saltier than usual.

My son caught an 11.5 inch White Perch.....getting closer to that citation.

Holy crap I wonder what the salinity was that far upriver? Nice going Scott. Let me guess....a Rat-L-Trap? Blue Chrome or Gold?

Actually it was on a Super Duper. Chrome, of course!

In case anyone doesn't know what they are:

Phil and I took an 18" blue north of Rock Hall on a Capt. John's spoon yesterday...only fish of the day and only blue we've seen north of the BB.

Ed,

In the last week I have gotten reliable reports of blues in the 2 to 3 and 3 to 5 lb range from the mouth of the Magothy to Swan Point.

Hoping to try my luck this evening.

Mike

With the minimal rain we've had, they should be pretty thick. Lord knows the Jellyfish have found us.

I might try to sneak back out on the rowboat today and see if I can stumble into anymore back there. Rain cancelled my work for the morning.

Back in the 70's we would catch taylor blues in the back of Martin's Lagoon (Middle River). We use to row an old jon boat trolling #13 tony spoon and really small kastmasters.

My son and I are probably going to head out again Saturday and try the same thing...trolling some really small spoons and whatnot from the rowboat.

Used to catch decent Bass and Crappie at Wye Mills years ago doing that, except using a Rebel crawldad instead of spoons.
