Because of the rain we could not fish in the morning, so we decided to explore where we could launch onto the Nanticoke River. We planned on fishing there the next time out. We visited the Cherry Beach boat ramp in Sharptown, MD, the Federalsburg VFW boat ramp in MD, and the Federalsburg Marina boat ramp in MD. The Cherry Beach boat ramp was on the Nanticoke River and the two Federalsburg boat ramps were on Marshyhope Creek which flows into the Nanticoke River. They all had easy access and plenty of parking. I am pretty excited about fishing another river.
Around 2:00p the rain had stopped and we loaded up the boat and went to the Pocomoke River to do some late afternoon fishing. We were on the river by 3:00p.
I caught the first fish, a Largemouth Bass on a Bubble Gum Pink Strike King Ocho Senko bait. He was a decent-sized fish. It would be three more hours before we caught another fish. Around 6:15p the frenzy hit. In one-hour John caught nine Largemouth Bass using a Rainbow Trout Gary Yamamoto Senko bait. Nine fish in one hour! Incredible!
By the time the fish settled down the sun was sinking low and we headed back to the dock. What an afternoon to remember.
SIDE NOTE: A beaver swam by.
