Curt planned a fly-fish outing for his best fishing buddy, Bruce, who was also his father. They have fly-fished many exotic locations throughout the years and wanted to add one more location, the
Chesapeake Bay. Their plan was to catch some hard fighting striped bass and other saltwater species.
The weather during both days was outstanding; not too hot or humid, with a slight breeze keeping the waves low on the water. There hadn't been much topwater action in prior days, so a 9 weight fly rod, teamed with sinking fly line, and a 3" sinking clouser fly, were used and were very productive during the entire trip.
Nice striper caught by Curt on the 1st day
A little variety
It's always a pleasure to show my clients some of the Chesapeake Bay jewels.

Unfortunately I always have to call
'last cast'. When I did Bruce made one of those casts all fly anglers like to make, right up to Sandy Point Lighthouse. On the 1st strip it was
fish on. The outing finished with Bruce catching a nice 23" striper, tying up the score of 140 fish (70 each) for the 2 day outing.
