Upper Bay Fishing

Type: Chesapeake
Region: Upper Bay
Location: Bay Bridge

Still finding good fish in 30-50' of water at the Bay Bridge trolling a mix of Storm Wildeye Shads in the bunker color and some on white bucktails. First picture is of my buddy Josh Cofiell who caught a 24" rockfish while we were trolling around the Bay Bridge that one very foggy morning about a week ago. Caught on a white bucktail dressed with a white twister tail in about 50' of water. Trolling with a three way swivel with a 20oz weight bouncing it off the bottom to keep the bait down where the fish were.

Other two photos are from this morning in the upper bay that were caught off a pier jigging in about 20' of water. Caught the 20" rockfish on a jig head dressed with a 6" white twister tail. He had a belly full. The catfish was a surprise to catch on a white bucktail in the same water. Fishing was good from 7am-8am and then immediately turned off. All fish were released to be caught another day.
