Last Friday, I got to hit the water with my good buddy Justin on my first fishing outing since my summer break started at Watkins Mill State Park. Justin and I teach at the same school and it was nice to fish with someone that can relate to the situations that the teaching profession can deliver. He really got interested in fly fishing this year and even helped me facilitate my fly fishing club. It was our first day of summer break and it felt like a good kick off to some more free time.
While we didn't catch anything big or memorable, Justin sure brought in a lot of quite a few crappie. While I have caught a few crappie on the lake in the spring and an occasional one post spawn, I've never caught as many summertime crappie. Justin caught them near aquatic grass as well as 10-20 yards off the cabbage. I caught a few bluegill and a couple of crappie, but Justin really thumped them on a black jig under a float. I'm not sure how many more crappie we will catch on fly rods this summer, but I'm looking forward to fishing more with my new fishing buddy.
