  • Bay Bridge Saturday

    I'll be launching from eastern shore in the morning. Throwing it out there if anyone else is going.

    FYI

    This was posted on Tidalfish.

    "If you are planning on using Sandy Point and / or fishing around or north of bridge - you have few things to be aware of.

    # 1 - Waterman's Tournament is Fri / Sat / Sun. - Boats are not allowed south of bridge - so often area just north of it gets crowded.

    Boats in this tournament must fly a flag - not sure what color though.


    # 2 - On Sunday from about 9 am until noon - is the bay bridge swim. This one affects an area roughly 1/4 mile north and south of bridge. The swimmers leave Sandy Point beach and swim on an ESE course - going through pilings roughly main channel - coming out on small beach just south of bridge on eastern shore."

        I've never heard of a tournament being able to close public waters. If true ironic that it's happening on the Maryland free fishing weekend.

            I think the idea is the tournament boats themselves are not allowed south of the bridge, ie a boundary for the tournament itself.

            Not that you couldn't fish north of the bridge but it might be crowded.

              I think conditions kept some people off the water. It was sporty for sure. A few sets of swells were even up to my chest. fishing was rough as well. I wish I could have figured out what the deal was but just couldn't find any willing to bite. I even had worms for spot or Perch.

              Managed one dink striper to keep off the skunk, but I snagged him while jigging. I'll just keep reminding myself that counts.

              This was my first time launching from terrapin. It's a pretty nice park. Neat little beach that fills up late morning.

              Side note, Pretty sure I got broke off by a small blue. So they're in the area.
