 Pocomoke
River - Snow Hill, Shad Landing II
Maryland

Pocomoke River II
Snow Hill, Shad Landing & Corker's Creek
Worcester County, MD
 |
Fetterbush, also known as swamp sweetbells
or Leucothoe were in peak flower
and the southern cross vine was coming into
bloom. |
 |
Bald cypress line all of the
shoreline and as you look into the
swampy woods you can see the many
cypress knees and hummocks.
|
 |
We tried to ford a blow-down on
Corkers Creek because the area
upstream receives no fishing
pressure and is inaccessible, other
than by boat. The creek proper
is very deep and even at low tide
averages 12-feet deep. Dave
and Frank are standing on the tree
and the engine and batteries proved
too heavy to negotiate the
push-over.
|
 |
More basking turtles.
|
 |
The pink hues of swamp azalea were
seen frequently along the stream
banks and were being visited by
bees, swallowtail and other insects.

The stickpin minnows were a fun
topwater lure.
|
 |
As twilight fell I switched to a
1-foot long floating snake lure,
which got one hit. I should
have tried it earlier and seen if I
could have taken a lunker bass.
The barred owls were singing up a
storm, "who cooks, who cooks for
you all, or who's awake, me too."
We motored into Shad Landing at 8:30
PM and looked forward to getting
some dinner in Salisbury as we drive
back to the western shore.
