Whatcha think? Lil’ buck hickory or herring? Spilt milt on hand in pic 2. I’m thinking small hickory. Plus, the perch are plentiful now. And carp are showing themselves prespawn (active feeding). Way upper Pax.

Bluebells and darts are pretty signs of spring. Whites had moved up to the waters I frequent. Shad on their tails any day now. A bit later than last couple seasons but that’s okay.😎 #shadrun2025 #whiteperch #patuxent #chesapeakefishing
"This is science art." Very cool and informative read about bottom scanning/imaging/mapping project of the Chesapeake Bay by geologists/DNR for purposes related to oyster restoration. Worth a read >>>

Earlier this week, I visited a fave spot (2x), looking for the shad but they hadn’t arrived. Just 1 fish reported this week at this spot. Water was low and cold. Need more rain and this wknd’s warm temps should help get the fish moving further north.
I did pick up a mess of trash. Always pains me to see so much plastic lining riverbanks.
