This is our landing page of all posts we’ve created over the years about striped bass fishing in our region. Most of these posts are reports of fishing experiences in the middle Chesapeake Bay, particularly within the Severn River (our home waters). Additional reports have covered the entire Bay experience and seasonal patterns, techniques, etc. And still other posts, include need-to-know information about rules, regulations, fishery updates, and more.
