how to catch a rockfish

apparently it is as easy as dropping my line...this week! after a long, hot summer, the fall striper action has been sweet. now these arent trophy fish, more eating fish. i cut out the filets and the wife grilled them with olive oil and salt and pepper: delicious!
(that's a blue above, which were also running heavy.)

Virginia Saltwater Fishing Tournament

this dude should not fish alone again! thank god he had a phone or who knows what would have happened to him AND the fish: because he has friends, he was able to land the second largest cobia in virginia, ever! mr. blow is currently in first place in the month-long Virginia Saltwater Fishing Tournament. what a fish story, though!

still looking for stripers

was rough on saturday as we headed to smith point and up into sunnybank. turned out to be more of a boat ride than a fishing excursion.

flounder

beautiful 25" flounder caught inside the hook at cape henlopen state park on delaware bay this weekend. nice work, garrett!

maryland natural resources police need your help

the maryland natural resources police need your help in locating the jerk who abandoned a gill net near the mouth of the choptank river: several hundred pounds of dead (read: wasted) fish, sea birds, etc. were found in the net when it was removed. for more information, go to tidal fish.

partying at breezy point

great video from a couple of weeks ago by partyoffive shot while striper fishing off of breezy point. maryland.

striped bass

more striper photos from yesterday's bay fishing outing from solomon's island on strike zone. must have been the luck of the irish we fished yesterday in sunny 88° instead of today in 54° rain!

striper strike zone

changed my mind and headed to solomon's island to go out on captain wally william's strike zone. great day! we headed out into the middle of the bay, trolled around with white and chartreuse, and hit quickly! mine is the 44-incher!

going fishing

heading over to chesapeake beach tomorrow to try our luck at catching some stripers.

checking the dnr's report for hints at hot spots.

the angry fisherman

my brother googled "the angry fisherman" and came up with this from youtube.
