Hooper Island Area

[Cowpokey]

I will only give general information of the area and share fishing techniques and type of lure used unless you are fishing with me. It's the Hooper Island area. The stringer can be picked up at Walmart. It's a Mustard saltwater stringer made with nylon and stainless steel snaps.

You're phone must have intervened, it's Mustad MSTD 62A. I have yet to see one at Walmart, but I believe you.

People can get their stringers there, if they're able to find them?

[PigPen]

I completely agree with you.

I'm not looking for the exact spot just where the public launch is. I see a few spots were you have to park in the marsh and drag your yak into the water near the bridge. Don't know if its posted no parking there or what other surprises are in store like trespassers will be shot. Sorry not trying to be an imposition.

Nice work gentleman! Good to see the specks making a showing. After last winter I am happy to catch even a small one

Public launches can be found on the md dnr site.... from there its up to you man. Telling you were they launch is basically giving you the spot as we're in kayaks you don't go that far too fast.

Nice Paul and Mike! They've finally arrived huh?

Dangut wish I wasn't home bound!!! LOL

PigPen, no worries man, it was a simple/innocent question. Like Matt said, in a lot of places on the Eastern Shore, where you put in is where you're catching fish. That's a beautiful area and very fishy. Almost anywhere you launch there you'll have a chance at them because of the similar underwater terrain. I highly encourage you to explore it. Any MD DNR location will be safe to launch from. Good luck bro!

damn, nice job on the specks. i havent caught a keeper since spring. i fished that area(dunno if same spot as you obviously) on saturday, from 9-4. only two dink specks, but 10 rockfish up to 20" and only two of them were under. a few 14" blues too.

Sounds like you did pretty well out there with all the stripers. Nice! It took awhile to find them. They're out there though.

Nevertheless, he did outfish me 2-to-1, for sure. I think he had 3 fish on at the same time at one point, lol.

I did have 3 on at the same time. I didn't follow my rule to keep going straight while bringing them in. I was turning gradually so I could face them. What a mistake. I managed to get two in with no problem. The third one had other ideas and created a nice knot with my other line. Ended up dragging it for few minutes, unhooking it and cutting the line off and retying it.
