by Anglers seeking to improve their striped bass personal record have a great opportunity to do that during the catch-and-release winter season at Chesapeake Bay.
Stripers hooked at that time are full of roe building up for the spring spawning period, and weigh far more per inch than usual.
New Jersey striper pro Chuck Many has been fishing that area for decades and is back there now to conclude his very productive 2014 fishing season. His first report follows :”Shot gun trip to VA to fish with Clinton & Landen for a rendezvous with some of my striped friends!! Awesome time!!!! 11 hours of driving for 9 hours of fishing is totally worth it!!! Suffer for those fish anytime!!
If you ever get the winter blues and want to get a Giant, look up Clinton at Sho Nuf Sportfishing in Cape Charles, VA!! You won’t be disappointed.”
Capt. Ralph Leyrer tried for NJ Bight stripers yesterday out of Belmar without finding any promising signs and switching to blackfish. He’s available for tog fishing on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday at 6:30 a.m. Contact him at lastladyfishing.com
