In April and May we troll for trophy striped bass or in Maryland terms Rockfish while catching blues along the way. During these months bottom fishing for white perch and spot is also a favorite. As the season moves on (June – November) we start chumming for strioed bass, bluefish and bottom fish for hardhead, white perch, spot, and sea trout. READ MORE
