Pickerel in Annapolis

Type: Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: Annapolis

I got off work today and went straight to my favorite fishing spot in Annapolis. Tied on a white Johnson's beetle spin and cast it out from the bank as far as I could. I wasn't expecting much because the tide was very low� it was around 5:45 in the afternoon on June 13th. Around 30-40 feet from shore I got a hit� it felt real good on micro tackle. Getting hooked that far from shore the feisty pickerel had plenty of determination� thrashing and jumping several times before finally giving in. NICE!!! I estimated the pickerel was about 18-20 inches long. I released it for the next lucky angler.
