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.

Summer Pattern
The last 4 or 5 days have been virtually unfishable. Not only has it been cold and rainy, but the winds on the bay have been consistently 20-30 knots. Today looked promising, so John and I agreed to meet at the boat at 4.30. After a few delays we headed out to the shoal. It was 70 and sunny, but the winds were still very high. The winds were from the west, which made for a difficult anchoring. The tide was coming in and the boat was pointing towards the eastern shore. There were a record 7 tankers anchored up and all pointing straight at us...a very strange sight on the bay. Fishing was steady and we each picked up 5 fish from 18-22. All of the fish appeared to be residents. All ten fish were caught on a white twisty on 1/4 ounce lead head. No topwater although we gave it our best.
