I currently reside on Ferry Point near Annapolis MD and fish the South River from the headwaters to the landmark Thomas Point Lighthouse. i prefer to fish in 3 foot of water or less and throw topwater plugs. Most nights the action is non stop with small resident striped bass under 18 inches. Throughout the spring and fall it is quite possible that your night will include a mid 20 to 32 inch migratory fish. I never keep fish, just pictures and this blog.

October Fun
Last night I only had a few minutes to keep up my streak. Got to Glebe bay at 6.15. It was already getting dark when I had a blow up and fish did a nice "Irish Jig" on the surface. I could see it was a big fish, but it was too dark to tell how big. When I brought it to side of boat, it appeared to be north of 30. Unfortunately, I was in a hurry and as I swung her over side the braid broke and off she went with a brand new Smack it Jr.
Tonight I headed out around 4.30. Called John and he said he was at the "new house" with no action. Asked him to meet me at Glebe Bay after I filled my gas tank. Met him there at 5. We fished the same area as Weds night but did not even have a swirl. The tide and wind were pushing water into the bank closer to river, so I moved over there and immediately got 2 18's. Called John to join me and he immediately hooked up. John headed back to Harbor Hills to pick up his dad and I stayed put. While he was gone I picked up 5 from 18-20 and then had a huge blow up and boated the biggest of night...a 26. When John returned we picked up several more shorties and then called it a night at 6.30. Great night, but not much of a sundown picture tonight.
