Fishing in Marsh

[LexiGirl75]

I was riding through Anne Arundel and Upper Marlboro along Route 4 and noticed that the Marsh has grown many, many green leaves.

It is the first time I actually paid attention to this due to having gone on a cruise of the Marsh Land along Jug Bay.

I have noticed on occasion that vehicles park along the water area on Route 4 (Patuxent Wetlands) and was wondering if anybody could explain how does one fish in Marsh water that has that much green in it? It's totally covered now. TIA!

Very Carefully.

Some people go out with waders and a net while others just cast their line into the water.

Texas Rigged Rubber worms, crawdads, lizard etc.. it's a LOT of fun. As the fish goes for the bait, you can actually watch the weeds move...

I think some might call it a Carolina Rig..

Fist thing to remember is it's called "fishing" not "catching"

Texas rig and carolina rig=two different things. Depends on the placement of the weight.

I don't use a weight... light tackle and the weight of the worm is enough for me..

 

[desertrat]

"light tackle and the worm"
You are speaking of fishing, correct?

But no water moccasins in Maryland.

True. Just don't try to convince some people. To them any snake in the water is a water moccasin.

So true...I tried to tell someone once and they wanted to make it an argument...I said ok...stay away from the dangerous water snakes...

I think the confussion comes from the fact that the common water snake looks like a water moccasin and will be aggressive. You know...a form of animal mimicry for protection.

Yeah, the color is really close. We were getting on an airboat in FL once and the driver pointed one out that was laying in one of the tires nailed to the dock. You could tell, by the triangular head, that it was a moccasin. That's the only one I've ever seen as far as I know.
