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.

Getting outta the wind
Left the dock around 5pm tonight with my buddy John. We headed straight for the "new house" spot to continue where I left off last night. The wind was howling from the west so the water level was very low. After 10 minutes we decided to move across Glebe bay to where the wind was blowing the water into land. This was a new spot for me, but looked good. It was steady action from the time we anchored until sunset. We each caught at least 10 (probably a lot more)..mostly 16-18 with a few keepers. All in all it was a blast. You have to love October. you can literally start tossing plugs into any shallow water structure and have a great chance of getting a blow up. Massive whitecaps in the river so tonight was a pleasant surprise.
