22" in 4 and 1/2' of water
You have to love the end of summer season, beginning of fall...For as bad as the summer has been I have almost gotten as many stripers in the last 3 trips as I got all summer long....
The lastest trend for me is shallow water, near drop offs, find a clam bed to sit over and throw anything that looks like a clam...Sea Clams, Clam Snouts, Stinky Old Clams...Doesn't matter....
And the best part is that its all been on a half ounce sinker worked across the bottom with a trailing hook....
Got Perch, Stripers, and even a small blue, and a crab today...
Time of day has not mattered much at all, however, I have started to see Stripers breaking the surface for bait around dark....Hope its a sign of good things to come...

That brings back memories. We used to fish behind the clammers - they made a nice " chum line ".
Congrats on the 22 - great dinner fish there.

Mike; you bastard . How dare you catch and kill all those fish. Maryland's DNR estimated < 1 % of the fish were killed during Catch and Release, HOWEVER, one of the charter boat captains (Brian?) testified that ALL of the slot fish he caught several years ago died when released.
Since DNR restricted our C/R season; they must have gone with Brian's theory .
Let me know the next time you are fishing. I will anchor up downcurrent and just net the dead fish floating to me as a result of your irresponsible actions .

p.s. I know; I'm like a dog with a bone, I just won't let this C/R issue go .

And it all could have been avoided, if the bloody pictures didn't hit the Internet.

Well thank God the restrictions put in place to SAVE the < 1 % of the C/R fish worked. In fact it worked so well that now we are debating whether to INCREASE the coastal netting quota.
If the quota does go through, what have you (comms) gained by restricting Marylands C/R season? If the new quota is passed, it will just bring about a total colapse of the fishery sooner.

One wonders if the one single person would look the other way, if someone took business away from him without the proper licenses.
