I'm going to try snagging some white perch this coming Saturday below Conowingo and would love tips on locations, bait and techniques if anyone is interested in knowledge sharing.
Just go ahead and get her a license, they're very cheap for MD residents and will expire 1 year from the date of purchase instead of at the end of the calendar year. Getting caught without a license can come with big penalties.
I regularly go fishing with my 4 year old boy to these spots in and around Harford:
Bynum Run Park - Take cheese or semi frozen hotdogs and reel in little catfish all day
Deer Creek - A good spot to park is at 39.638101, -76.412476 along Route 24 in Rocks State Park
Harford Glen Park -...
Anyone know of any good shore fishing spots in Harford along the bay or the Susquehanna? My previous favorite spot near a local quarry has been shut down. Also any good pond locations would be appreciated too.
I started the same journey last year. I spent hours on the little Gun Powder and in Deer Creek in Harford County before I brought in my first trout. What worked for me are the Powerbait floating trout worms in bright pink.
This was an interesting catch. He ran my line through a rock crevice and snapped it off, but was still stuck. So I had to run back to the car, get my net and partially climb into the water to save him.
Snagged my first trout ever on the Little Gunpowder, a few minutes north of where it intersects Route 1. This was rewarding after spending 4 hours on Deer Creek yesterday and catching everything but trout.
If anyone has direction on good trout spots on Deer Creek, please pass it along.
