I fish Severn River around round bay and I can catch enough fish to fill 2 coolers thats if I keep everything above 8" in the way of perch. But I like catch and release better.I use my feather spinner baits and glow-jigs for everything.The only time that I use live bait is when I'm live lining for rock fish in late summer and fall.The only time I use my outboard is to take me to the cove and bring me back the rest of the time I use the electric bow mount motor to get around the piers,trees in the water,bulk heads,grass lines and beds,sand bars and on sunny days shady spots will hold lots of fish so work them well.
