Patapsco, 2-10-12

[HJS]

I fished the inner Patapsco on Friday, 2-10-12, 11:30am-2:00pm. I caught one striper, 26”, first fish for 2012. Also snagged several gizzards. Lots of gizzard marks were showing on the FF plus several schools of smallish baitfish. I worked the area over fairly heavily for 2.5 hours with only the one striper to show for my efforts, still not too shabby I guess but I have done far better there other years. The striper hit a 4” paddletail BA, chart/glit on a .5oz jighead fished slowly and very near the bottom (10’-12’).

Fishing conditions were fairly good too. Calm to near calm, 50F+ air temps, p cloudy, water vis ~3’. Only other boater there was a guy in a kayak. Unfortunately he got skunked.

Congratulations on the 26" striper. That is a great February fish.

Very nice work. I'm getting the itch to do some striper fishing. Maybe I'll hit the BB next week.
