34 Inch Striper South of Plum Pt

Type: Chesapeake
Region: Mid Bay
Location: south of Plum Pt reef site

Chesapeake Beach, south of Plum Pt reef site, east of Summer Gooses, Sharps Is Light.

Fished the edge NE of Chesapeake Beach inlet aboard 20' FISHHAWKS NEST. 2 fishers (senior day!). New CHIRP sonar and Navionics sonar map greatly aided working the edge. The high profile unit was hard to fit into the electronics box but well worth the effort. Schools of Bay Anchovies in area. Caught 18" striper on a hand tied bunker fly used as a trailer. Some taps and hits but no more hookups.Then worked inshore area south of Plum Pt reef site. Neighbor Art Howard caught a 34" striper in 27' on my 45 year old Penn Senator 4/0 combo with lead core rigged with a red surgical tube 5 colors back. Many schools of menhaden. Then worked many large menhaden schools east of Summers Gooses where fish were slashing through. Kept right at the schools with my trolling motor. Threw all sorts of rigs including live bunker with no hits. Looked like small bluefish slashing the schools. Tossed metal at Sharps Is Light on the way back in with no luck.
