Some Monday Fishing

Type: Chesapeake
Region: Southern
Location: Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant

I fished with friends Dennis and Chris yesterday (5/1) at the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant for a few hours, before the wind moved in. We caught around 26 or so striped bass. The fish were in the mid 20s with the largest being 30.35�. All released safely.

We were catching fish in the discharge (jigs) and along the shoreline (jerk baits). We saw a 47� fish caught and another large fish caught. I believe both were released. There were only three boats working the discharge and only one boat casting along the shoreline. When we left at 10:00 there was just a single boat working the discharge. The ramp at Solomons was basically empty (very few trailers) when we arrived and when we left. Windy and cool day on the water.
