rattle trap and high tides in chesapeake beach

[Longtrav]

well today the bay was flat as a lake near shore. Stripers were all over the shallows feasting on minnows and my rattle trap. Got about 10-12 keeper size rock in about 2 hours of fishing. Ended up with four rockfish in the 18-20" range. I guess I better add that I had my son on board the yak

he's only six so he was reeling in marlins, lol

Nice job. He must have had a blast with a smile from ear to ear.

he did it was rather lake like out on the water so you could see rock hitting baitfish all down the beach. It was a fun time for sure. Hope the action stays for a while. I suspect the extra high tides had something to do with it. Also lots and I'm talking about lots of trees in the water and on the beach.

Where did you launch? The wind was supposed to be unwelcoming from what I was reading.
