December Stripers on Fly

6 12 2014

Still some nice rockfish around for those who don’t mind a long run in a cold boat. No heater in my Jones Brothers but we still have fun. Here’s a brace of 30-inch stripers caught today on my G. Loomis NRX 9 weight.

4 12 2014

Interesting article on the resurgence of underwater bay grasses on the Susquehanna Flats. Thought you might like it. Let’s hope the rest of the bay follows suit.

Cold Water Rockfish and Walk On Trip Availability

25 11 2014

IMG_4173.JPG Water temperatures may be in the 40’s but that hasn’t slowed the rockfish bite. Stripers have been feeding heavily on peanut bunker and larger menhaden south and west of Crisfield, Maryland. Hogy soft baits or Li’l Bunker jigging spoons have been the lures of choice. Look for diving gulls, gannets and pelicans to locate schools of rockfish running 18 to over 30-inches. Best areas are the channel edges of Tangier Sound and the main bay.

I have a walk on spot open for one angler on Friday, December 5th. Please contact me for details at kjosenhans@aol.com or 443-783-3271.





RIO Fly Line App

22 10 2014

IMG_4019.PNG I probably get more questions about fly line selection than any other type of tackle. Saw this on Facebook and thought I’d give it a try. Fast and easy download to my iPhone. Best part was it’s FREE. There is an Android app as well. Works great! Step by step actually took me right to the lines that I currently use. There’s also a link to the website, store locator, and more. Click on the link below to get started and let me know how you like it!

Maryland Striped Bass YOY Results

20 10 2014

Maryland’s annual YOY (Young of Year) survey is in and the results place this year’s rockfish spawning success at just below average. This, after two years of rock-bottom (no pun intended) reproduction. Not to worry, Maryland DNR Fisheries Director Tom O’Connell says this constitutes a “healthy” year-class. I guess it depends on ones definition of healthy.

Overwhelming Response to Walk On Trips!

18 10 2014

IMG_3987.JPG Due to the large number of calls and emails that I have received requesting a spot for my walk-on trips I have decided to open up a few more November dates in an effort to accommodate as many of you as possible. I now have available November 19, 20, 21 & 24. In addition, I need a single angler to share a full day (8 hour) trip on Friday, November 14th. Also, on any one of the latter dates, I need a single angler to share a half day (4 hour) trip. Please call or email me for details. This is it for November, and while I do plan on running trips in December, you just never know what to expect with the weather. Thanks again for your overwhelming response!!





Walk-On Dates Open

14 10 2014

I have three walk-on dates available for one to three anglers – they are, Wednesday, October 22, Monday, November 3 and Tuesday, November 4. If I get two per trip cost is $250 each, three per trip cost is $170 each. Please call, text or email me ASAP if interested. Striper fishing has been red hot, with catches some days approaching 100 fish per day! The rockfish have been averaging 17″-26″. Great fun on fly and light spinning tackle! We will be fishing the creeks and shorelines of Smith Island. Don’t miss this great fall fishing!! kjosenhans@aol.com or 443-783-3271.
