Found a spritely school of striped bass up to 30”i Found a spritely school of striped bass up to 30”ish, more or less. Not the giants, but fun to catch and release for about an hour in 3-6’ of relatively clean water over an expansive shoal. This was an early morning this week. The new moon helps. Interestingly, the bass were hitting the silver SP minnow but not fully taking it. So I tied on a smaller silver jerkbait. No hits at all. Hmmm. Switched back to the SP, but in gold bunker color. The fish ate it time and again! Go figure. When things aren’t quite working, change something. Colors, retrieve, scents, location, etc., etc.

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…

Yellow perch have spawned in Severn Run…these egg Yellow perch have spawned in Severn Run…these egg masses are likely a week-plus old. Saw them when scouting the run last week. Best educated guess is the perch made their run during the first warmup earlier this month. Many more signs of spring up there. Will post more…
