Fall Run Stripers Showing Up

Cloudy days and topwater fishing go hand and hand as Tom Jones, Mark Myers, and Alan Lytle joined me on one of those days. We left Sandy Point State Park in the early afternoon.  We were looking for working birds. At first it was a little difficult to get the seagulls to fly at low altitudes, but it finally happened after cruising around in 20 foot of water over a hard bottom.

The birds stopped working so we went to fishing structures using topwater lures and soft plastic baits rigged on 3/4 oz. black nickel wide gap jigheads.

There are plenty of nice striped bass now in the Maryland Sector of the Chesapeake Bay, so get out there and do some catching.
