I agree about the fall. I fish out of eastern bay. This was the worst fall I’ve ever experienced. I had two solid days all fall. Bait and birds everywhere but no fish.
Good Thing they closed the Chesapeake trophy season. Big cows have been dieing in the chesapeake for too long! Now lets tighten up that slot limit! Lets hope they end all Commercial striped bass fishing in 2026 as well!
A lot of people like to snap jig with straight tails. I will use both, but use paddletails more often because I like to be able to "swim my bait through different parts of the water column when they are feeding suspended. I have also noticed paddletails get more bites when fish are close to bottom. I can drop to bottom and slow roll it through the strike zone with a lot of action.
Remove commercial fishing and increase regulations. Also, monitor handling. It’s insane seeing people gut-hook striper after they have caught their keeper at places like Conowingo, where they spawn.
Cobia come here, stripers come here,drum and everything else. People just need to know how to treat them properly. We have Hunter education......we need fishing education.
You literally drove down my street on this video 😂
I'll make sure to wave next time!
AWESOME VIDEO
Thanks!

Yes the fall was tough! I caught some nice fish but not as many as usual.

I hope we never have a trophy season again!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Cought some monsters south of potomac Today
I have been catching some at the bay bridge. Do you know how south of that were you fishing?
We were fishing near the Choptank River
First love your video
Thanks!
@ bro we have to go fishing this summer
@@watersedgetv I caught a 28 inch rockfish around September this year
We've been catching hammers this month, gotta troll to get them
Is that best by the Potomac? My buddy and I are trying to learn which is tough with no experience
@patrickharlow7724 yes
@Phil-km4up caught 2 40s so it worked out
@@patrickharlow7724 nice
I see you just uploaded but when was the video made
This video was from the third week of December.
You are jigging with a paddle tail - I typically see people use straights instead. Just preference?

where are you fishing out of,?
I fish the middle Bay. Mostly Poplar Island down to Solomons
They should let catch and release all the time, but shorten the keep season.

I agree there needs to be better education on catch and release fishing
Nice work 🎯😜🎁🎄✅‼️🇺🇸💯💯🫵🏿🫣😎🔥🎣🎣
Where was this Ive been struggling also
This was near the Choptank River
Hey here’s an idea, don’t touch our fish! Leave them alone. Stripers should only be caught north of New Jersey.
