Yesterday I had the opportunity to take the kayak out on the water, so I decided to head down to St. Mary's Lake in Callaway, MD. It was a gorgeous afternoon, with temperatures in the mid-70's and just a very slight breeze. I paddled straight out from the boat launch and made my way over the northern shoreline. A couple of anglers I met at the launch mentioned that they had caught some crappie along that side so I thought it would be a good spot to start. I couple of casts in and I was hooked up with one of the largest black crappies I have ever seen. I got him to the boat and celebrated the catch. After a photo or two, I released him back to fight again.
I spent the next couple of hours casting along the same shoreline, moving about 100 yards at a time. I ended the day with just about a dozen really nice size panfish. Well let me rephrase that, I caught just about a dozen. All were released. Who knows maybe I'll see them again?
