Joe--In previous years, I fished for pickerels in Spa Creek near Annapolis and a little in the Severn, which Spa Creek flows into.
Here's the launch at Spa Creek:
truxtun park loc: Annapolis, MD - Google Maps
The salinity was pretty high up there last year (or the year before?

) , so I didn't have much luck in Spa Creek, but guys that launched from Jonas Green State Park on the Severn (under the Rt 450 bridge) did better. A few years ago, I caught several pickerel over 20" on Spa Creek. How much I go up there this year will depend on gas prices.
Another spot, which is closer to me, is Allen's Fresh, which is on MD Rt 234, not far from the Rt. 301 bridge.
The lures I use are usually a twin or single tail grub, 2-4" long, in either chartreuse or white rigged on a 1/8-1/4oz jig head. Most of the fish I've caught have been on 3" chartreuse single tail grubs. I've also caught pickerel in Virginia on floating Rapalas and 4" purple or electric blue worms rigged with a jig head.
Tenchi--Yeah, I've really been missing out.

( It just seems like my schedule, the weather, etc. never work out for early winter fishing. Hopefully, that'll change this year.
