Most of the initial members are no longer involved or participating in this forum and they have good reasons
At the time here was the place to know where the fish was biting , the place to get best price on bait and tackles and yes fight fishing spots threaten to be closed due to bad behavior, although we failed to save North Beach and the next soon will be Jonas Green
I heard the best place to fish is Town Creek Solomon Island $10 for 12 hrs opens 5 pm on Thursday to Sundays ,still to cheap should be $20 keeps those folks out
This was our recommendation to NB or $300 SEASON membership club

After talking with the owner on Saturday, I do not believe he will tolerate the nonsense that goes on at North Beach. People should know they ARE on candid camera while at Town Creek.

as long as you have the public pier at solomons which is across the river, TC will never be like NB !!!

300 to fish tc.
Kinda confused.
State parks only charge 75 for a yearly pass.

Totally agree. Now only if the state would administer a comparable per person fee at the Burton piers...it might put a dent in the amount of knuckleheads screwing that place up. But then again, it didn't do anything to stop the crap at Matapeake.

I believe the mentioned $300 was for NB, and yeah that is pretty steep.

I hope you're successful getting the pier back to the way you want it. It sucks when the dregs ruin a good spot.

Talk to George at Tyler and he will tell you his business sales fell alot I hope the locals will fight to get fishing going at nb again

One of the reason that many of us stop sharing sweet spot and fishing report is because of lurkers. Once you tell your spot here, you will never again fish there.

Truth. My brother and I had a superb Crappie spot @ Loch Raven that many people did not fish. The word got out, now the spot is over fished and barren. People even went so far to remove brush piles to make it easier for the bass fishermen to cast around the trees. It was a great place for a while.

Spot burners are the modern horse thieves, and should be hung.
There are no more secrets in the internet age.
Satellite maps at your finger tips, GPS on phones, etc, nothing is safe.

Your all to close to Baltimore Washington area. Peace on earth on the Eastern Shore.

Yup! No more secret spots anymore. The only secret we can keep is not letting people know if it's biting or not.

Everyone! Off to town creek!!! party time...

Sure there are. That's why I don't post any reports.

Twinkies · Jul 18, 2016

They will eventually find it. There's probably several Pokeman lurking there already. It's just a matter of time.

Sounds a little weird to me. Bass fishermen are always looking for cover to fish. Taking the brush piles out would be counterproductive for them.

The few spots I fish are clean with very few others fishing there. I'd like to keep it that way. As far as out of towners are concerned they can get their info the same way I do when fishing a different state - call the local tackle shops.

Letting a couple of bad apples spoil the whole bunch?

I realize that non-locals can trash the place, deal with it here on the river.... But there are a few of us who are good, who want to be able to enjoy our vacation and feel a tug on the line without having to spend all week learning.

You're telling me you've never once asked a local about the fishing?
