Fishing at the Bay Bridge

Type: Chesapeake
Region: Mid Bay
Location: Hackett Point

Looking for rockfish and chummed, using cut alewife for bait. Hooked into four big rays, brought two up to the boat. The chum seemed to bring in a lot of big spot and small white perch that we were catching on bloodworms. In the end we caught three undersized rockfish on the cut bait, all in the 18 to 19 inch range.

After the bite slowed around 10:30 we moved to the bridge footings and pitched top/bottom rigs with shrimp and bloodworms. Lots of big spot and medium sided white perch there and one 17 inch rockfish.
