Week of 10/26/2020

 If been going out in the evenings to swan creek point to jig for strippers.  I've also been using spooks, which I did manage to get bigger fish but unable to land it.  I may try poppers just off swan point and casting into the shore. 

Typically, I can catch the schoolies on a small curly jig that looks like something below. 

Water temp has been in the low to mid 60's, though a cold front is coming in this weekend (10/31/20).

Here's a video of Yuri and I out by the mouth of the Chester River not far from Love Point. 

Fishing for Stripers on 9/20/20

Fishing Trip out of Rock Hall 9/20/20 with Yuri.

We left the dock around 6:50am on a relatively brisk September morning.  Air temp was about 50 degrees with water temps still in the low 70's.  The wind was light but picked up during the day and at times was a good 15kts.  Swells were light near shore with bigger ones towards the middle of the bay, as usual. 

The day entailed a good amount of trolling, but the majority of fish we caught were casting soft baits.  Yuri caught a 22 in. keeper around 11:30am.  About 15 minutes later he landed an 18in both which were caught south of 3 CAN a few hundred yards off of Bayside Camp Ground.

Fishing off of Rock Hall Harbor just north of #3 green can.

 Billy and Matt came down last week and we spend two days fishing off of Rock Hall Harbor.  Wednesday we caught about 15 fish with them mostly being Stripers.  I did pull in a small bluefish to my surprise.  Thursday we did a bit better with stripers using jigs.

Water temp was between 80 and 82 degrees with moderate wind on Thursday 8/27/20.  

Earlier this week ahead of the coldfront, it was foggy but very calm on East Neck Island.  The water disappears into the horizon.  Tundra swans swimming to the right and a pair of eagles perched to the left (too far to photograph).
