Flats Bite?

[Yak Fish]

Has anyone heard of stripers on the flats yet? We've gotta be getting very close. I think I'm going to make a trip Friday...maybe. Otherwise, I've talked to guys who are catching largemouth in good sizes up there right now.

If you go Friday I'll come with

Cool. I'll let you know.
I may be doing some experimentation with lures and trolling stuff and plan to cover some water if you're up for it. If I don't see a hint of rockfish, I'll switch to looking for largemouth. That'd be more fun together anyway.

There's a thread of TF about it:

Sounds like no one is getting anything yet, but they think it could turn on any day...

Thanks Ryan

I am going to be out there tomorrow, but mostly trying for Large/Small mouth Bass. If I get any Stripers or see anyone catching them, I will let everyone know.

Post on the largemouth bite as well. I heard that it was hot last weekend

I didn't get anything today but it was a short trip due to a change in work schedule had me heading in early before I could really get fishing. I am assuming that they are biting since the launch ramp at Tydings Memorial Park was busy with fishing boats being put in.

Going to try for a longer trip later this week.

Ah, so there are guys making trips out already. Thanks for the info. Did you happen to get a water temp?

Yes definitely guys out making trips already. Not sure of the exact water temp the NOAA site is showing temps around 49-51F between Chesapeake city to Solomans Island. That felt about right, so its likely in that range on the flats.

[Yak Fish]

Damn, you're right. They've got 51F posted out of the NE River. That's perfect.
