Susqy Flats was a pleasant surprise on my first day…..Friday 5 April.  First trip of the day I ran around all over looking and not finding.  Finally at about 1030 a.m. I located a nice slug of Stripers on a channel edge and they were hungry.  We caught for about 2 hours using BKD’s  ( www.basskandydelights.com ) .  Started my afternoon trip and it didn’t take long….we found a bunch of fish near a shoreline and had them for the whole trip.  Caught well over 100 stripers in 4 hours!  Good stuff!

The bite was good for 4 days….day 5 was difficult…only finding 25 fish all day…..day 6 was horrible but I had a great crew…we had fun and the weather was perfect….problem was the fish departed the flats.  Every year fish leave the flats and then they show up again.  They follow herring up the rivers and they leave the flats to the south to spawn and chase herring around.  Every year they come and go and come and go again.  Just the way it is at the Susqy Flats.

I’m home right now….did yard work today and I’ll be heading back to the fish camp at the Susqy to start fishing again on Saturday.  Hoping some fish found there way back to the flats!

Susqy Flats Trips on temporary hold for now……Starting on Friday, April 5!

Posted on March 30, 2013 by Walleye Pete

Because of cold water at the flats and a lack of great catching possibilities I’m staying at Calvert Cliffs until the 4th of April ……. I will  be evaluating the future weather outlook in order to make a decision about when I’m heading to the flats.  New reports and water temps on the rise have made my decision to start at the Susqy Flats on 5 April.  I’ll be putting up daily status updates on my site about whats going on at the flats……let’s hope for lots of fish!

Power Plant On Fire! Starting Friday April 5th at the Flats……

Posted on March 30, 2013 by Walleye Pete

Whopper for Carlton!

 

Fishing at Calvert Cliffs has been on fire lately!  For the last couple of weeks migratory striped bass have taken up residence in the outflow at Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant.  With 2 million gallons of water flowing out of 2 4′ in diameter pipes per minute the water is flowing hard and the fish are in there eating up forage fish like mud shad and river herring.  Every day is different…..it can go from great to bad overnight and visa versa….you never know.  Lately however, the bite has been great early and pretty consistantly good throughout the day.  Here’s some shots of some great fish over the last couple of days!

A nice late morning 39″er…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good Stuff!

Really Fat 32″er!

Charlie and his boy with a 40+ Striper…….WOW!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mammoth early morning whopper…….this lucky guy caught this whopper on his first time dropping a BKD down in Chesapeake Bay for a Striper….holy mackeral!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Charlie and his horse of a Striper!!!! Congrats on that fish

 

John with a windy day whopper!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These are just a few of  the really big fish caught lately!  Having a period of fishing never to forget…….even though  we’re catching some nice fish in good numbers the overall numbers of Stripers in the bay and in the ocean migratory stock is way down in my opinion.  Hoping I’m wrong but I don’t think I am………I’ll never take for granted a bent stick on my boat because you never know when the next one will come…..lately it’s been bent sticks galore!  Let’s hope the pace continues……..

Posted on March 17, 2013 by Walleye Pete

Mr. Penn, a teacher from Baltimore County put his more experienced dad and brother to shame with the biggest Striper of the trip……a fat 35″er!

Fishing the weekend of Friday 15 Mar. – Sun 17 Mar. was pretty good!  Overall we had quite a good number of decent fish with some fish over 30″.  All fish were caught on 1.5 ounce jigheads and 6″ or 10″ BKD’s ( www.basskandydelights.com ).  Here’s a few shots from the weekend.

really windy day and some nice stripers!

good one Mike! Tough conditions………great fish!calm morning.......beautiful fish!
