Dan with a 35″er caught on a 10″ Chartruese BKD…..Good Stuff!!!!

Well folks, the light tackle big fish bite is on right now!  Over the last 10 days I’ve had many fish over 30″ and up to 38″!  A real battle on light tackle and the fish are very spunky in mid 50’s degree water.  Most of the big fish are coming on structure in 14-20′ of water but lately some big fish are under birds and amongst many smaller fish.  BKD’s  ( www.basskandydelights.com ) in Chartruese Glitter, purple glitter or white have been working great!  10″ BKD’s are killer on big fish!  When they are feeding on menhaden over structure BKD’s can’t be beat!

John caught this 35″ fatty using a 6′ Cove Series Spinning Rod loaded with a 10″ BKD….good stuff!

We still don’t have the numbers of big fish we did for several years but with hard work and persistance there certainly are some nice fish to catch!  I don’t think these fish are ocean run fish.  Not sure on that but I haven’t seen sea lice on the fish and haven’t seen a fish over 40″ yet.  I’ll take fish in the 30’s on light tackle anytime!  Between big Stripers we are catching huge numbers of smaller fish.  Truly fishing is real good right now!  Water temps in the main stem of the bay are still near 60 degrees….we have many more degrees to go before fishing turns down…..we are still on the way up!

These three fish were caught at the same time all on BKD’s over structure……when located these fish eat hard!

I’ve launched lately from Solomons and currently am back at Buzz’s Marina ( www.buzzsmarina.com  ).  Bird activity has been strong in the Point Lookout region of the bay.  Between structure and birds plenty of activity is available!

Plenty of great fish on this day! Flat water jigg’in big fish!

One of many mid 30’s Stripers lately!

Hello All!

Was going to take this coming weekend off but because of 7 blowouts in a row and a great wind forecast for the weekend I’m FISHING!!!!! Walk-On Trips are lot’s of fun and I love them…..so……let’s do some Walk-On’s!

Fishing right now is looking great!  After several days of stiff NE wind I believe the fish are going to be chomp’in!  Water temps are in the mid to low 60’s and the extended weather forecast looks favorable to hit the islands and the main stem of the bay.  Prior to the several day wind event I was really catching great numbers of Stripers, some Reds and Specks!  With water in the 60’s Reds and Specks will be very possible and Stripers will be very good!  It’s a great time to get on the water.

Here’s the deal

FRIDAY, 18 October 13-  booked solid- This walk-on trip is a special one!  I have an auther coming from San Francisco, CA who used to live and fish in MD.  He is writing a book pertaining to fishing Chesapeake Bay.  He would like to have 2 walk-on’s on the boat to help with the Chesapeake Bay experience.  We’ll be taking pics along with video and Joe Cap from Shore Tackle  on Kent Island will also be on board.  Hurry up and jump on this opportunity…..will be lot’s of fun!
