Chase Creek Striper

Type: Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: Chase Creek, off the Severn River

This 22 inch striped bass (rockfish) was caught and released along the bulkheads in Chase Creek, MD last Thursday night, on a 1/4 oz lead head 3 inch mister twister grub and 8 lb mono. This is the biggest fish I have seen in this spot this fall. There are a lot of 1-2 year olds (6-14 inches) feeding on bull minnows/killies under the lights. Some nights we go down to 1/8 or 1/16 oz leadheads with 2 inch grubs and 6 lb line and there are still a few nice white perch mixed in, but most of the white perch have moved out to deeper water.
