ASrod Posted June 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Tons of baitfish, saw some quality sized breaking fish that just had too many options. Couldn’t get a hit with cut bait, worms or plugs. If you can dream it, I can meme it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eduardo Kang Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 I went out Monday, mainly just to run the boat. I invited my neighbor's son to come along as I learned recently he likes to fish. I did my best I to set expectations low as I haven't fished much since having kids 15 years ago. I'm also out of touch with the feeding pattern of the fish in the bay as this was my first fishing trip out this year. We launched just off of the Gunpowder and made our way south to a "knoll", I was thinking structure and current. There were a couple of boat anchored up on the north and east side, so I tried a few drifts on the west side casting jigs - nada. Another boat showed up a few minutes after we arrived so we picked up our lines and went south to fish a "bridge". Found some structure with good outgoing current and managed to pick up a few stripers. Below was the biggest. I was quick to unhook, get a photo, and release, so I didn't measure, but it was a solid mid 20s" fish. The fish didn't start hitting until we switched from opening night to chartreuse colored bass assassins. All in all a great afternoon on the bay; especially considering my expectations. Good luck!

ASrod Posted June 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 Soooooo much bait but so few fish willing to take a plug. I’ll try a couple more times before I hang up my striper gear until September. Honestly just want to put a bend in the new rod. If you can dream it, I can meme it.

They are there all summer you just need to downsize your offering. Freshwater size rods and lures and try to figure out summer water places like sod banks I fish fine look stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard some really good reports from the bay though. If you can dream it, I can meme it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borsig Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) I've been catching a few good specks at my spot off the Mobjack by my house. Minnows, and white gulp. I fish from the backs at usually high tide. Got a 22" just this morning on minnow from the trap on a bottom rig.

ASrod Posted June 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Last night was awful. Water was chocolate milk and wind was pushing seaweed everywhere. On the flip side, I’ve been catching eels just about every time I check my minnow trap today. Guess I’ll keep some for a rainy day. drumsfield 1 If you can dream it, I can meme it.
