A quick striper fishing trip - Breezy Point, May 20, 2014

[ComeOnFish]

This was my rare striper fishing - meaning a trip targeting stripers only.

I had a half day off. Breezy Point is only 3.5 gallons away. So I brought my neighbor and my go to trolling lures before Bluefish arrive in the upper/mid Chesapeake Bay.
Breezy Point is my home water. Even though I've fished less than 2-3 times a year there since I had converted to Kayak-fishing from power boat fishing, because I fished there before, Breezy point is still my home water.

I knew where to fish. It was a quick trip:

Very nice. Never been there, but I just looked at map and it looks very close to me as well so I may go try it. Do you launch at the marina boat ramp or is there a soft launch somewhere?

I like those lures you used. I caught one of my largest stripers ever on those, just shy of citation size.

Nice catch ComeOnFish.

After getting tossed around by the charter boats up at CB, I was thinking about trying Breezy Point too.
I was looking at going there last fall and mapped out some waypoints to troll the fish haven on the west side of the western channel boundary.

Nice catch. I've been out of breezy point many times but only in a power boat and only had luck live-lining. What depth were you at? That close to the cliffs it had to be about 20' or so...

Nice catch also. I have been meaning to try Breezy Point at sometime. Maybe I can hook up with you. The last time that we fished together was with Mustafa at the Occoquan for crappie and you were showing me your helmetcam.

That was a nice video and fish! I think I will have to get out there and try to get in on that action as well!

I will post croaker and striper locations (kayak reachable) hopefully this afternoon.

I think I am about to head there now to try for a few hours. Wind is supposed to kick up this afternoon through Saturday and want to do some fishing before it starts.

I agree Joe. Your videos are one of the reasons I got into this sport and I continue to learn more and more from them each time you post one. Thank you.

Fished there this morning from 8:30-1. Trolled out and to 2nd buoy on the left, then back in closer to cliffs. Tried parachutes with white and chartreuse 9" swim shad, bkds on spro jig heads, and gulp on jig heads. Also tried small gulp, paddletails, a couple slow sinking hard plastics in closer to shore. No fish for me, but it is definitely a great spot. Plus, only about 6 gallons of fuel roundtrip on the truck.

It definitely stays very deep from the 2nd can all the way in pretty close to shore in front of the first set of cliffs on the left. Thanks for posting, it is a great spot that I never really thought of trying before. I just wish they had a pet beach to take my dogs.

Oh, and I talked to a dnr biologist there. She was doing a survey and said the boats that had success went south from the launch, but not many fish caught today. One boat limited out with 6 early in the morning. She said largest fish coming in was only 25".

Thinking of trying it tomorrow or Sunday.
Is there a launch fee?
