Fishing on the Weekend

Type: Chesapeake
Region: Central
Location: Chesapeake Bay- Severn River at Chase Creek

Over the weekend, Ethan Zlokovitz, friend Lucas Barton, and I (Ethan's dad) added 2 more species-silver perch and spotted sea trout- to our list of fish for Pines on Severn, Chase Creek living shoreline and adjacent docks. In 10 years of fishing this area we have caught a extensive list of brackish and saltwater species, including one possible snakehead lost, and a large channel catfish landed at the boat ramp. However, notably absent are young bluefish, weakfish (�grey trout�) and summer flounder. We have not seen one of these fish in 10 years of effort with artificial lures, and natural baits, including live grass shrimp with small # 6 and # 4 hooks. You can catch almost anything that swims in the bay with grass shrimp, live minnows, and/or bloodworms. You also can catch many species with a simple 1/8 oz lead head or shad dart and mister twister tail, as shown by the nice striped that Ethan caught casting right off the boat ramp!
