Today, we are fishing in the Chesapeake Bay to stock up on perch to store for food and to also use as bait during the fishing season. Currently, Maryland is under a “Stay at Home” order, which means we can still fish as long as it’s for food (no catch and release) and as long as we don’t come in contact with other people. I can’t believe how well this old gear worked! I’m glad I was able to honor this gear by catching the first fish it’s seen in probably 60 years!
**When you are going fishing during this pandemic, please make sure you follow state laws and social distancing guidelines. This does not mean “We can meet up to go fishing as long as we stay 6 feet away from each other.” Social distancing means that you should not be in the same vicinity as people who do not live in your household unless absolutely necessary (like when buying groceries). Limit your contact with others as much as possible. Go to remote fishing spots where there are no other people fishing. If you want to go fishing with a friend, we recommend that you each go to your own fishing spots and video call each other. Let’s all help keep each other safe during this uncertain time**
