Southern MD Creek Fishing

From May 22, 2024: When the temperatures start climbing, I begin to hit the creeks here in southern Maryland. One of my favorites is the one that comes out of St. Mary's River Park through Great Mills, MD. Shady and loads of beautiful fish to catch! Check it out.

I have fished that creek a few times in the summer. Great on a hot day. If you walk down the bridge over the road, there are usually a ton down there.

It is a great place to cool off and catch fish! Thanks for commenting!

Got some big bass further down the creek when it opens up on flat iron road if you’re ever looking for those.

Yeah there’s lots of different species swimming in there.

How far south are you talking? I've caught redbreast out of the Patuxent and Little Patuxent rivers, the Potomac river and I know I've read about them being in the Anacostia. As a side note, redbreast have been a frequent catch for my brother and I recently. We fished the Gwynns Falls in southwest Baltimore twice the past week. First trip my brother caught 67 fish over 3-4 hours, mostly redbreast, I caught 35, mostly redbreast. Second trip he caught 31 fish, 26 of which were redbreast. I caught 12 fish, 9 of which were redbreast.

I live in Calvert County, but these fish were caught in St. Mary’s County. I’ve never really fished the Patuxent much further north than Prince Frederick, but I’m hoping to the summer. Thanks for commenting!

Go down to parkers creek that runs under Solomons island road where jerrys place is. It is a creek very similar to what you just fished. And I’ve caught all sorts of sunfish bluegills and panfish like that down there.

Great suggestion, thanks!
