Most common places I go are Lloyds creek in the sassafras, Chesapeake inn on the canal, Jelly fish joels in fairlee creek, and tollchester (on the bay about 10 min past jelly fish joels) the past 2 weekends. There is nauti goose all the way at the north tip of the north east river, the Flatts across from the susquhanna, sand island and battery island in havre de grace, and still pond right past the sassafras. Middle river has some cool spots I hear like sunset cove, heart miller island is right around middle river, and more south you have red eye dock bar. I put in at Hacks Point on the Bohemia River.

Hart miller is awesome though I haven't been in years. Don't live there anymore. Red eyes bikini contest every Sunday at 5 if they still do that. I gotta get back up there. Some of the best boating in the country with lots of places to go. You can also go downtown Baltimore to the harbor. We would catch orioles and ravens (early season) games by boat. Pay the harbor master for docking and have a good day.

Waterman's in Rock Hall. Ditto on the Chesapeake inn and Jellyfish has a nice area to anchor. Do you launch at the town ramp in Port ? It's pretty much set up for 18 footers maybe a little bigger. Large build up of rocks 20 ft out from running boats up on the trailer. . Stay in the channel around HDG. Don't cut across the flats two foot of water and heavy grasses. North East Marine has a nice ramp and a lot of parking and the Nauti-goose is right there. Have fun

Where in Philly are you? When are you heading down? It helps to meet up with someone and let them show you around. A couple of these places are a little tricky to get into like Jellys. I'll be out on the river up in Tully cove on Sunday around lunch time. If your our come on by and say hi if you want. I'm the red cat
