Possible closure of Severn River tomorrow

[J.A. Veil]

I had not heard about this until a few minutes ago -- I saw it posted on Tidalfish this evening. I don't know if it is an April Fool's joke or the real deal. I personally have been pushed out of sections of the river by the Coast Guard before. I was in the orange kayak a few hundred yards out from Jonas Green.

Here is the Tidalfish post: "FYI if you were planning to fish in the Severn tomorrow. we were out today and USNA and Coast guard made announcements that the Navy was doing annual MOB training and the coast guard would have the Severn shut down from 11am-2pm from 450 bridge out to mouth I think is what I heard."

In any case, if you had planned to fish in the outer section of the Seven River tomorrow, make sure you are back to the 450 bridge by 11:00. Also it would be a good idea to monitor channel 16 on your VHF.

Thanks John for the heads up.

When I saw your photo I thought of this photo:

I'm glad the outcome (for you) was better.
