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.

Super Sunday
Headed out to Thomas Point Shoal and anchored up at 10.30 am. Did not take for my first blow-up and boated a nice 20. Next cast had a huge blow-up. I was using my new Medium Heavy St.Croix with 10lb Power Pro and large size Chug Bug. My buddy James uses this plug a lot, but I had never caught one using it. So despite the heavier gear the fish gave quite a fight. Drag was not quite screaming, but we were having a nice give and take. Finally after 3 minutes or so, I netted a 26. Proceeded to catch 5 or 6 good sized Blues over the next hour and finished up with another 18 and 20. The water very clear and calm. Back at the dock at 1 to watch the Ravens lose badly to the Colts.
