I was at Jonas Green yesterday, 5 to 7PM. Nice day to be out there. I was only one on the pier, there were few people fishing from bank/rock. But no sign of fish, no bite. Tried bottom and surface using bobber with frozen shrimp. Was hoping at least few wp. Anyway, will try soon again.
Jonas Green 4/20, no fish

I went there on Saturday (opening day for Rocks). Fished from the pier. There was a guy catching wp on grass shrimp. I caught about 8 on night crawler and blood worms. There was another gentleman who was catching wp on bloods. All in all was not a bad afternoon. Got there about 3:30 and left at 8.

Typically, you will not get good numbers of perch in the Severn until mid-May. The perch just spawned and there is no consistency to to their behavior. By June, they should be pretty thick in the shallows. I think you are better using night crawlers or any garden worm than frozen shrimp. Buying bloodworms to catch white perch gets pricey fast.
A bobber rig may be useful standing by the rocks/somewhere shallow.

Peeler crab works great for Perch, but they're also gotten expensive.
My father liked soft shell clams for perch, and we caught a lot of them on it. Anyone still use clams?

X2 That's what I am waiting for. Waiting for the perch to come out of the rivers spawning grounds. Then you won't even need bait. Catch all you want on lures from land/piers. Might even catch a rockfish or two-three- or four. Think I will start checking sometime in May.

So when you caught your fish, was it all at once or spread out?

18 rockfish is best number count this year for me in under 2 hours. However, I did skunked 3 times out of 22 attempts...86% success rate isn't too bad I guess.
I will let everyone know fishman3. I am a fish picture posting freak now that I am retired from the big time
I stopped by jonas with the wife and kids to have a waterfront picnic. I had my rods with me but there was no action. Talked to a couple folks fishing the rocks and it was a skunk all around. Didn't see any pier guys catching.
There was a small army of serious kayak guys going out in search of stripers for c&r action. One guy had a propeller/pedal rig, fish finder, and go pro mounted on the bow. Pretty cool how far kayak fishing tech is getting.

Those pedal rig yaks haul ass. A bit pricey, but probably worth every penny.
Jonas Greene can be pretty happless. I have seen some keeper Rock from there in the summer tho, Blues too, off the end of the bridge near the fence. There is a deep drop off out there near the bouy towards the end.
Bloodworms on a fishfinder rig is the ticket.
