More striper action off Chesapeake Beach (Oct 16, 2018)

[ComeOnFish]

You gotta love the Chesapeake Bay Birds.

Left Fishing Creek at 10:30 AM after the morning work. I fished in the shallow water, chasing birds, for an hour. I cuaght 15-20 stripers at 11-6".
I patiently waited for birds in the deeper water (30' +). When I saw the birds I chased. I caught 12+ stripers at 17-26" in 28-34' of water.

Thanks for the report. Nice to hear larger fish are finally moving into the mid-Bay area.

Nice, I've never heard of using buzzbaits for striper

From my experience, if it works for largemouth and smallmouth, it probably works for striper. The presentation has to be different, though.

My two sons and I used use the large size buzzbaits When there were top-water actions. We usually cast with wind in the Bay. It is hard to cast against wind. We retrieve the Buzzbait a lot faster than when we fish for LM.
I usually put 1 OZ inline sinker for cast-ability. I din't have the skirt for the buzzbait. Chartreuse skirt resulted in more hook ups
