Mind kinda blown w/ this Severn largie catch = my Mind kinda blown w/ this Severn largie catch = my first. A few have been caught this summer/fall by others. It’s a bit unusual in this trib but not unheard of. Went for pickerel this afternoon, just fartin around the creek in the kayak and made a few casts/catches. All hit the inline spinner in pic3.

Found a few stacks chompin in the Severn on back-t Found a few stacks chompin in the Severn on back-to-back mornings this week. Good stuff. Like really good stuff. Lots of fish. All on bucktails worked deeper around structure. Windward side too, which was a bit challenging. Shortest about 17, and up to two-footers.

Things are shaking up in the creeks. Pre-game bite Things are shaking up in the creeks. Pre-game bite — go #commanders — was very good this morning with jumbo perch and a couple good pickerel hitting the micropaddle once again. Fall fishing is finally shaping up it seems…

Had a pickerel strike this morning when perch fish Had a pickerel strike this morning when perch fishing in the back of the creek. Usually how it goes as we inch into fall and I love it. The little @moondogbaitco paddletail on an 1/8oz jig works really well for several species. Fish were huddled in slightly deeper water off the shallower flat on the falling tide.

Bit of a surprise catch far upriver in Severn toni Bit of a surprise catch far upriver in Severn tonight when paddling. Every season, I catch a small handful of these baby blues in the creeks. Pretty cool. Also found perch feeding in super skinny mud flats at the end of the creek. All fish hit a micropaddle on 1/8oz ball head jig. Nice evening overall.
