As the old saying goes, if we caught fish every time we went out, they’d call it catching instead of fishing.  So, I guess my Friday evening/Saturday morning over-nighter to southern Maryland was a fishing trip, because there wasn’t a lot of catching involved.  Striper fishing has been pretty good around the Bay Bridge and [...]]]> http://www.chesapeakelighttackle.com/2010/07/25/thats-why-they-call-it-fishing/feed/ 2 http://www.chesapeakelighttackle.com/2009/07/27/hot-smokin-the-blues/ http://www.chesapeakelighttackle.com/2009/07/27/hot-smokin-the-blues/#comments Mon, 27 Jul 2009 21:30:23 +0000 Shawn http://chesapeakelighttackle.com/?p=588
The bluefish blitzkrieg in the mid & upper Bay is full force with thousands of snapper blues in the 15-20 inch class invading all the usual rockfish hotspots.  Blues are among the most aggressive fish in the world.  They’re known to kill other fish just for the sake of killing and they will occasionally attack [...]]]> http://www.chesapeakelighttackle.com/2009/07/27/hot-smokin-the-blues/feed/ 6 http://www.chesapeakelighttackle.com/2009/07/16/eastside-story/ http://www.chesapeakelighttackle.com/2009/07/16/eastside-story/#comments Fri, 17 Jul 2009 03:34:54 +0000 Shawn http://chesapeakelighttackle.com/?p=534
Tonight’s fishing partners were Rich and James.  Rich and I have fished together frequently, and this is my third time on the water with James.  We launched into Eastern Bay at the Shipping Creek ramp and ran out toward the main Bay.  It took a little more looking around than it did Tuesday evening, but [...]]]> http://www.chesapeakelighttackle.com/2009/07/16/eastside-story/feed/ 3 http://www.chesapeakelighttackle.com/2009/07/11/breakers-on-the-west-side-oyster-bars/ http://www.chesapeakelighttackle.com/2009/07/11/breakers-on-the-west-side-oyster-bars/#comments Sat, 11 Jul 2009 15:41:08 +0000 Shawn http://chesapeakelighttackle.com/?p=473
Looks like we’re settled in to a pretty typical summer pattern of breaking fish over hard bottoms.  The action around the mouth of Eastern Bay has slowed somewhat, but there’s plenty of fish on the west side from Thomas Point Light all the way down Cove Point.  I haven’t seen any huge schools of fish [...]]]> http://www.chesapeakelighttackle.com/2009/07/11/breakers-on-the-west-side-oyster-bars/feed/ 4
