Busy Day

Type: Nontidal and Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: Calvert Cliffs, Indian Creek NRMA

On Thursday 10/20, I started my day by fishing the bay off Calvert Cliffs. I only fished there just over an hour due to the wind shift from a South East direction. But I was about to catch seven striped bass, of which three were keepers. All fish released safely.

I then had lunch at home before heading out again. I then fished the pond at Indian Creek NRMA. Casting the same bait I used to catch the striped bass. There I caught a 21.5� largemouth bass and a 10.5� redear sunfish before I received the DNR email notice of trout being stocked at Calvert Cliffs SP.

I jumped into the truck and headed back down to southern Calvert County. I stopped at the house and grabbed my 3wt fly rod. Fishing the pond at the park I caught eight rainbow trout. All fish caught this day were released safely.

What a fun and busy day! Three fisheries, four species and all in just a few hours of fishing.
