i am pissed! second weekend of striper season and i will be in the office doing paper work. procrastination has its rewards: i found this great fishing site: tidal fish is "all fish, all the time". it has great information about fishing for striped bass. the fishing blog is updated often, most recently with aerial photos of opening day of spring rock season from the top of the bay all the way down to the oil rigs. if you were out on the chesapeake bay last weekend, check the photos and see if you can spot your boat! tidal fish also has the latest maryland fishing report, inshore and off shore as well as the same for virginia, north carolina and other eastern seaboard states. the featured article is about lures for spring trolling. you can join the forums if you like people. i think i will be going to this site alot!
