Raised on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, I use to go fishing with my father and grandfather focusing on the small inland bays of Virginia's Eastern Shore. I've lived in southern Maryland for over thirty years as I have been working as a chemistry and physics teacher in Calvert County. A few years back I had some students talking about how many fish they were catching and it lit the fire under me again, so now I travel all around the southern Maryland area, usually with my kayak, seeing what is biting. It could be a freshwater lake, like St. Mary's or Lake Wheatley (in Gilbert Run Park) or it might be the Chesapeake Bay right down the street from the house. If it swims, I want to catch it. My oldest son lives in the Clearwater area of Florida and I often visit him so I take fishing gear down on every trip. As an educator, I like to show what I'm going, what I'm using and of course what I'm catching! Come along for the ride.
Definitely definitely fish those docks i got a three pounder largie from the third dock also in the trees before the first dock i have a crankbait thats red and white its still attached to line i couldnt get it though you can have it if u end up getting it
Congratulations on your retirement! I, too, retired from Carroll County Public Schools at the end of the 2023-24 school year and don't really feel it yet. Our first day back for teachers is August 26. I plan on wading for smallmouth on the Monocacy river that day.
Nice video! I just went down to the creek by the winery in leanardtown usin some small plastics on a 1/32nd oz jig, caught a ton of red breast, baby perch and a couple bass. I always enjoy your videos!
@@lagginwagin2148 south of Baltimore, about 40 minutes, is a state park called Sandy Point. It’s just outside of Annapolis. You could try there. Along Rt 50, on the east bound side, about a mile from the park, there’s a popular tackle store that may be able to help also. It’s called “Anglers fishing and hunting”. Hope you find some!
I was fishing there two weeks ago. I used a 4 oz. Sputnik weight with my Pompano jig but the wind and tide kept pushing it right back along the shoreline within minutes. Also the wind was so strong it was blowing the beach sand right into my eyes. I had to give up after about 30 minutes.
@@redlightships I liked the fact that I was able to drive right up to the water line and cast out my fishing rod. However, I was forced to give up and bail out after about 30 minutes and after paying 20 dollars to access the beach with my truck.
Do you think it's possible to launch a Jonboat on a trailer here? Used to fish this lake a ton in the late 80s with my uncle and his canoe... might think about a trip over there to check it out again if I could get the boat floating from the bank...
@@redlightships yeah, what we used to do with the canoe way back... don't have it anymore, and built out the jonboat, no chance of lifting it, but I do have a heavy winch on it... when I used to go there it was right before they ungated the place, so security didn't bother anyone (since you had to have a guest pass from a resident to get there.
@@WhenAnalogWasKing It is private but I live here in Calvert/Long Beach so I can launch here. But like you said it’s hard to find spots where you can get on the water.
Nice place. We used to fish the coast guard station there when I was in the Army and I would go back home to Florida on leave. Caught a lot of nice fish out there.
Ive caught three 30+ inch snakeheads on a weekend this year with a lure made with something most people would call household junk. If it has form and function, fish will hit it.
I’ll have to try that color I have some . But the white yum grubs are my go to black with silver glitter works great in the summer for me . Love the yum grubs .
@@PDad2340 I’ve got a set for when I’m doing g yard work, but other than that I don’t use them. They were a serious problem the last couple of years when I was teaching.
you can catch stripers in freshwater, anyting bay/tributaries is off limits. from what i understand. so freshwater and the surf from OC should be good to keep.
Great video. Hello from Canada. I just love grubs. Some of the things I like about them are, they are way easier to acquire and keep in good condition opposed to live bait. They work on pretty much every species of fish, you can imitate anything a fish eats with them by changing the colour and how you fish them, you can fish it in almost every way, lots of people don’t throw them so fish are typically not used to seeing them. They work scented or unscented if you have allergies or going into restricted waters. And they are usually pretty dang cheap.
tried to launch in centennial lake in columbia today, it was swamped. so i went home, some days its hot other days not a single person on the lake. its annoying sometimes.
@@dominicrivera5141 I predominantly use grubs by Yumm (usually their “Christmas tree” color. If not that using “panfish magnets” by Leland Lures (or Trout Magnet)
reminds me of a place, deep in a ravine. I was about 30 and there were native brook or brook trout not big fish but they were there, I thought I was seeing things. The water was cold and clear. The one thing that I remembered, it was in the high 80s when I started my hike and it was, i guessing about 67 in that bottom . I went back a couple of times, seems that ravine got deeper each time. Just thinking it was close to a perfect place.
