The annual striped bass spawning survey is out and it’s not good news. But that’s to be expected as these things fluctuate from year to year. There are currently good numbers of juvenile rockfish from both the 2017 and 2018 year classes roaming the eastern shore river systems. Hopefully, the 2020 conservation measures soon to be enacted by Maryland DNR will be successful in preserving these young stripers.

Pickerel, yellow perch, crappie and bass have been biting on the tidal backwaters of Maryland’s Eastern Shore. 45 degrees is the target temperature. Air that is, any colder and most anglers choose to stay indoors. Dress warmly and bring hot coffee. This wintertime fishing really is a treat!
I’ll be attending TieFest again this year and we’ve got a great lineup of exhibitors, Fly tiers, guides and seminars for your enjoyment. Please note the new location below:
