A Few Days of Fishing

Type: Nontidal and Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: Bay and Calvert Cliffs

I fished the lower bay on Tuesday evening, 1/14 and during the day Wednesday, 1/15 too after a phone call from a friend to do some striper fishing. What�s an angler to say? Other than, "Sure! I�ll meet you at the dock." We were in search of some big fish but they had moved on. BUT!! In all, between the two outings I caught 17 striped bass. All of them in the 24� to 26� range. Jigging them up in 40+� of water. Fun day of catch and release fishing.

This morning, 1/16 I took an hour to fish Calvert Cliffs State park too. The state had stocked the pond with 300 rainbow trout yesterday. So, taking time this morning proved to be a good choice. I caught nine trout on a woolly bugger and bead-head nymph combo. More catching and releasing. Great times.
