Fishing News DNR Fishing Report Page 5 The middle bay region has been offering some good fishing for striped bass this week with striped bass spread out over a wide area but there are several areas of greater opportunity. There is some successful live lining of spot taking place on the outside 35 foot edge of Hackett s Bar and Thomas Point. The best action has been taking place down at the False Channel at the mouth of the Choptank and it has been fairly crowded there. Spot are easy to find inside the Choptank so just about everyone is live lining and there is very little chumming going on. If one pokes around to similar channel edges such as south at RN2 suspended fish can be found. Small bluefish are ever present and can be pesky at times. Cutting up expired spot and chunking can often pay off when bluefish make it hard to send live spot down. Yes, bluefish will swarm on the chunks but if some weight is added, there is a better chance to get below the bluefish to striped bass. If nothing else you can even up the score and fill your smoker with some bluefish. Breaking fish are being spotted at times in places like the mouth of the West River and near anchored ships. It is not uncommon for striped bass to hang out near the ships, especially since they ll have lights on all night attracting bait. Trolling near breaking fish or near the ships and channel edges can produce a mix of striped bass, bluefish and the occasional Spanish mackerel. Salinities are somewhat depressed in the upper and middle bay so that may be keeping the Spanish mackerel back, surface water temperatures are about 81 degrees. Bottom fishing for a mix of white perch and spot with a few croakers tossed in has been good in areas south of Kent Island and off Chesapeake Beach as well as in most tidal rivers where good hard bottom can be found. Peeler crab and shrimp have been working well for white perch and croaker; bloodworms will work especially well for the spot.
