It was a good Friday morning. Goals met. April c+r It was a good Friday morning. Goals met. April c+r is the real deal. Found a couple packs of chunky stripers in the Severn/Whitehall area, cruising in 4–6’. Got a few fish to eat. All on the SP minnow pictured. A bit foggy through morning and overcast, which was great. Calm water until 10:30am. Fish seemed to bite about an hour into the tide turning. Bite lasted maybe an hour tops. Give it a shot when the conditions align—the opportunity is out there…

HNY! Hiked into the headwaters today to find carp. HNY! Hiked into the headwaters today to find carp. Found a good number of them—all sizes, with some bigs in the mix. I tried method feeding and got them to nose the bait but couldn’t entice a really good take/hookset. Still learning this species and different techniques. Also saw the remnants of carp the eagles and hawks have been picking off. This is a fun winter pursuit!
