Afternoon
Fishing - Lake Centennial Howard County,
MD Mark Burchick
It's Howard County Fair Week,
and we got in some afternoon fishing
between livestock events.
A green heron (
middle, right
) perches on a
rock, in search
of lunch. Joe-pye
weed is in full
bloom and occurs
frequently along
the shorelines
and are big
attractors of
swallowtails.
The
parasite,
common
dodder ( AKA
Devil's Guts
) envelopes
lizard tail
and duck
potato on
the lake
bank.
Mallards
watch as we
fish.
We fished
for
two-hours
and only
caught two
fish, a
bluegill and
a bass. The
lake was
busy and
noisy, with
a dozen
rental
paddle boats
and canoes.
I caught the
bass on a
5-inch senko
worm, and
Jeb caught
the bluegill
on a live
worm. We
tried
several
baits and
caught
mostly
algae-gators
and
spatterdock.
I have no
idea who
dressed Jeb
today, and I
have no idea
what Mark is
doing in the
background.
