Rockfish ridiculousness!

What a day! I launched at Jonas about 7:30 and was going to go out around the point to Whitehall Bay but never made it that far. In the span of about 2 1/2 hours, I think I caught around 40, all about the size of the one in the photo - between 25"-32". They were hitting everything - 4" paddles, 6" paddles, skirted jigs, bucktails, Crystal Minnow - and 2 on a small popper. I probably could have put a cigar butt on a hook and gotten a few! No birds - very shallow water (less than 6'). Never had a day like this on the bay. Perhaps tomorrow will be even better! I also met 2 other kayak fisherman out there - Aaron and Joe - who were also crushing them!

Tight lines everyone!

Great news that they finally made it to the Severn! Way to go!,

Jim,

That's good news indeed.

They sure took their good old time getting to a familiar haunt.

Congratulations on your memorable day.

Great report. I have been checking each for those large fish to show up in the Severn and had not found the yet. Congratulations on finding them.

Wish I was there...

I was out there this morning and could not replicate your success. Caught three fish early, largest a little over 22", and then couldn't buy a bite for the next couple hours. Beautiful morning, though.

Anyone else heading out fishing in the morning? Thinking of going somewhere between Pasadena and edgewater

I just wanted to say thanks for the report, I was packing up to do some bass fishing in Germantown and figured I'd give Jonas another try. I launched at 830am with the high tide. Trolling from Jonas to the mouth of the river I finally hooked up just near the point...and it NEVER STOPPED! The first fish was a 17" rock and they only got larger. I ended the day with over 25 fish all averaging between 17-21". I had three fish measure out at 23" and the largest went 24". Eventually I got tired and paddled back a little after 1230. I met another kayaker out there, hope he got on some fish on the paddle back. It was a great day!

I'm planning on going out tomorrow. I had planned to go for catfish down south but I won't have enough time, so I will probably go out in the Annapolis area for a few hours at sunrise.
