Fishing News Page 5 DNR Fishing Report Spawning runs of white perch in the middle bay tributaries tend to be driving most of the fishing action this week. In the upper Tuckahoe River, the white perch action started in earnest this past weekend and continues with large numbers of fish available to anglers. Water temperatures are close to 50 degrees during the mid-day hours and all one needs is a good falling tide. Anglers will also encounter post-spawn yellow perch, which are an added bonus. Angler will see similar fishing for white perch in the Choptank and Severn rivers. Most of the white perch tend to be in the 5-inch to 7-inch size range with a percentage in the 8-inch to 11-inch range. Small jig heads tipped with grass shrimp or pieces of bloodworm or minnow have been popular lures, as is a simple hook with a split shot baited with minnows, bloodworm or grass shrimp. Those fishing in the Tuckahoe and Choptank rivers with small jigs began to see blueback herring and hickory shad taking their jigs this past weekend. Both species can provide some fun catch-and-release fishing on light tackle, but must be released unharmed. The hickory shad run in the Choptank River near Red Bridges is a much anticipated event and will start in earnest in about a week. Choptank River area anglers should note the Martinak State Park boat ramp and associated parking lot will be closed for improvements on March 28 and again from April 1-5. Large female striped bass are moving into the middle bay region and heading up the Choptank River in preparation of spawning in the next couple of weeks. The warm water discharge pipe at the Calvert Cliffs Power Plant is quickly becoming a go-to place to try some jigging action for large striped bass that tend to pause there for a little warmth. Other striped bass catch-and-release fishermen are trying some trolling along the steep channel edges and jigging along channel edges. The Dorchester County of Bill Burton Fishing Pier State Park has reopened for day-use only from 7 a.m. to sunset. The Talbot County side, which closes every winter, is scheduled to reopen for day-use access on April 1.
