A Bit of Striped Bass Fishing

Type: Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: Smith Island, Point Lookout, Patuxent River,

<p>It’s been a busy spring. Freshwater and Bay waters. I fished the Smith Island Tournament with the FishTalk team. We didn’t win but in the end it was a blast! Catching striped bass and a few stray blue fish.</p> <p> I also fished Point Lookout Friday before last and on 5/20 too. Catching striped bass and bluefish. I fished the Patuxent on 5/14 (white perch)-5/19 (striped bass & white perch), and a couple of creeks too, looking for white perch and striped bass on the lower end of the river.</p> <p> Catching perch on beetle spins, small spinner baits and perch hounders. Striped bass were caught on heavy jigs because of the relentless winds we’ve experienced recently.</p> <ul> <li>Striped bass were 24-29”</li> <li>Bluefish were 18-20”</li> <li>Perch were up to 11”</li> <li>Ralph w/fish</li> </ul>
