I stand corrected...the Striper regulations do not change Monday...it is Tuesday May 16th that a 20 inch fish is a legal keeper- not the 15th of May...

Nearly all of the tributaries (Severn, Magothy, etc.) are all still closed until June 1st as I understand. It is very confusing.

Note that while the flats are open May 16, the limit is different. Only one fish between 20-26". The normal limit kicks in June 1.

Indeed... thank you for that detail. I'll edit my post above to include it.
