Carp on the Severn

Type: Chesapeake
Region: Eastern
Location: Upper Severn River

Catch: 26 inch carp, estimated weight 8-9 lbs
Date of catch: 3/21/2010, 2:30 p.m.
Location: Upper Severn River
Anglers: James Houck and Jared Isaacs

We pitched 4 inch plastic flukes on 3/8 oz. jig heads to shallow cover around docks and laydowns. Water temps read 56 degrees. Jared hooked into this one. Took one nice run, peeling line, before she settled down and we boated her. A surprising and fun first catch of the season for us.
