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.

Subpar Night
It was sunny, 85, and no wind all day. The water in front of my office was like a mirror all day, so I was anxious to get out there. Low tide was predicted for 6 PM, so timing seemed perfect. I arrived at Thomas Point at exactly 6 and found 20 knot winds and a 3 foot chop. In a nutshell, it was miserable. Tried both plastics and plugs, but the twisty was the only thing working. Action was steady, but they were all dinks. I stuck it out till sundown, but the winds never laid down. Final count was 7 between 14 and 18.
