Tony with a nice 32″er recently….caught on a yozuri crystal minnow

 

Todd and a really big skinny water Striper!

 

I even get lucky on occasion!

 

I’ve been catching fish on the western side of the bay but mainly fishing in the eastern shore islands has been REALLY good!  Over the last month and a half most places with current/structure and 4′ or more of water has held Stripers.  I cover lot’s of area looking for better fish.  Everyday is different for sure.  Water clarity, wind, current and water level dictates where I fish every day.  I usually don’t do the same thing two days in a row.  Changing conditions make me shift gears daily to stay on quality fish.  I’ve been real lucky getting some unbelievable light tackle fish on the boat!

LIfe is good!

Some Really Big Fish…….and huge numbers of great light tackle fish!

Posted on October 9, 2014 by Walleye Pete

Sam was the HOT STICK on Wednsday!

 

Some REALLY big light tackle fish lately!  Had a couple of the fattest 32″ fish I’ve ever seen!  They were as big around as they were long….well not quite but pretty darn fat!  They were full of menhaden and little crabs.  Don’t know what the future holds but lately (last month and 1/2) the fishing has been off the hook good!  Here are the two super fatties caught in the last couple of days…..

Tony G. with a great light tackle caught striper!

my buddy mike caught this one on a surface plug……BANG! Released to see another day!

 

The big fish lately were in a very (hit and miss) place.  Sometimes some great fish are there and sometimes they aren’t.  Nature of the beast…….Over in the islands it’s been pure hit!  Huge numbers of great fish.  Lot’s of keeper size fish in the mix and some big fish also……..

Todd with a 35 1/2 inch local whopper……released to swim many more days!

 

30+ inch stump fish! Good stuff!

Beautiful Morning Crossing the Bay!

Light Tackle Striper fishing in the eastern shore islands is still hot and getting hotter!  Some really nice fish have been popping up here and there like this 30+incher recently!  Fish nailed a purple glitter 6″ BKD  www.basskandydelights.com  over stumps near shore of an eastern shore island……really good stuff!

Wow!!!!! Great skinny water striper!

Most Stripers being caught are very fiesty 16-20″ Stripers with several fish in the mix bigger.  Lot’s of surface plugging action early in the A.M. or on overcast days.  However, over major structure I’ve been getting surface hits even in mid-day sun.  Always have a plug ready to throw when a slug of stripers shows themselves in an area.

Early A.M. surface plugged beauty!

Experienced angler or new at the game…..fishing is just great over in the skinny stuff!  I’m over there often and never get sick of it……..beautiful and different every day! Had a crew from Texas and PA today in the wind…..couldn’t make it another day.  We rolled out this morning with a stiff south wind….not horrible but scheduled to get nasty by early afternoon.  Rolled up into the islands and found some great fish in 3′ of water in a secluded cove and protected from the wind.  Peanut bunker flopping out of the water being chased by nice stripers.  Game on!  We had many nice fish and the new folks from TX had a ball…..about 1130 am we scooted back across the bay in a NASTY chop……made it back and filleted the fish….great day!Stef was scared of the fish! 

Texas Boy Shines!

 

Stef was a bit afraid of the fish but she did survive……..whoop, whoop!

 

WIndy day…..great fish and a better dinner coming this evening!

 

Adventures over to the islands are a beautiful fish catching experience…….I love every one of them! Hoping for another one of these big boys soon!

Huge Speck caught recently in the islands! Hopefully more to come!

Skinny Water Catching is Holding Up REALLY Well!!!!!

Posted on September 28, 2014 by Walleye Pete

Biggest Speck in a Long Time!!!!

 

Speck fishing this year is way off in numbers compared to the prior three years.  At this point last year I was up to 747 Specks caught.  This year I’m up to 53……that’s it!  The winter kill in VA an NC seems to have really knocked off a huge number of Specks which may have been in Maryland waters this summer.  Well……with that said the fishing is still really good!  While hoping for a speck or two the stripers are really running wild in the shallow water haunts of the eastern shore islands.  Great bent sticks are occuring all day, every day that mother nature lets me ply the waters.  Jigs and surface plugs have been connecting on lot’s of great light tackle stripers to 27″ or so.

Great stick bender in skinny water!

 

I think the 2011 spawned Stripers are now 17 1/2 to 18 1/2 inches or so………seems like the numbers of fish in this size frame are very robust in the shallow water.  As long as they stay out of nets we may see a great number of really nice skinny water fish next year.  Let’s hope!

Today’s walk-on trip was great!  We had 4 nice specks and more stripers than we could begin to count.  With water temps in the upper 60’s the fish are very robust and when handled properly they are very strong upon release.  Good stuff!!!!!!!

Even a Flounder along with the Stripers!

 

Henry was the Speck “Hot Stick” today with two really nice specks!
