Report from Bill's Fishing
Shack By Bill Johnson
The spring rock fishery
was amazing but is in the past. We’re paying dearly
for that fishery now. It’s not difficult to find
schools of bait with nice rockfish around them, but getting
them to bite is hard work. When the wind isn’t blowing
15-30 knots 2 or 3 days a week, one must be patient &
use the best, most productive lures to get a few nice
stripers on the line. A captain on the VHF radio summed
it up well with two words “patience & perseverance.”
A lot of luck goes a long way also.
On trips with Capt.Bruno on the Dottie V & my boat
Sundancer, we’ve caught stripers in the mid-30”
range & very nice slot fish. But again, it’s
usually 1 to 2 hours between bites. There’s still
hope for a final blitz of larger migrating stripers. Working
the western edge between 55’ & 70’ of
water has been most productive for me, but one must watch
the meter to check where the most bait is. Very few of
the fish that I’ve caught have had lice & are
healthy with a large girth. There are schools of small
rockfish providing fun for the light tackle anglers in
the river & in the shallows of the Bay. There hasn’t
been much news on the white perch fishery in the Patuxent
River due to captains spending most of their day trying
to catch rockfish.
