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.
* Want to hire a charter captain to go striped bass fishing? Here’s our full list (and growing) of regional captains from the upper reaches of the Bay at the Susquehanna down to Annapolis, Chesapeake Beach, Solomons, and into Virginia waters. *
