We are doomed.... "That's the only route I see to anything heavier than about 6" and my forecast range is 3-6" for the three airports, 6-8" Frederick and 8-12" max in the MRB to MDT zone."
Used to catch white perch, yellow perch, pike, carp, sunfish, etc. all in around the Magothy. Later, when I lived on Stoney Creek, I would catch rock fish. I could net some grass shrimp and use as bait.
Used to catch crabs and white perch all the time. There was a restaurant called Riverdale on the water (it has since burned down). We use to go there, throw a string with a piece of chicken tied to it into the water and net crabs as kids. Legal size crabs.
And hence the need for mods. You can also deter people from participating by making things too rigidly structured. I think it is a compromise to some degree.
There are some other places throughout the area that are higher income as well. Back in the day Berrywood (technically Severna Park) was one of them. Fairwood in Lakeshore comes to mind. There are also multi-million dollar waterfront homes scattered through the neighborhoods. Compass Pointe (Ft. Smallwood Rd), one of the newer communities, is nice. There are others as well.
