Got it now.....thanks!!They migrate in the fall and winter in the Chesapeake. Then spawn and head north in the spring. They basically follow water temperature.
man that’s a beautiful fish!Been out alot the past month catching amazing fish all over the middle bay and potomac.

Nice fish....It’s been a wild bite in the middle bay the last couple weeks. Bunch over 40” on the jig.
I couldn't agree more. I got a stupid deal on an old Hobie years ago that I set up for fishing. Even that was so much better than what I'd used before that trading a rifle setup for a Hobie PA 14 was a no brainer for me. Incredibly enjoyable and even in chop or boat wakes you can stand confidently. Not to mention cover a lot of water.It's a common thing for people to "try" kayak fishing and grab a $300 kayak to see if they like it and usually they don't because the kayak is just awful so they think kayak fishing is awful. A decent yak makes all the difference. I'm upgrading to pedals soonish.
Man, even roof topping a Hobie is questionable.LOL,,
Gotta love the "Micro Skiff guys",, and their "Kayak Killers"
$3500 for the stripped hull that weighs 175#,, rig it out and you are at 300+ pounds
By the time you rig it, motor, trailer, etc,, You will be over $6000.00 for a basic set up.
My Jackson kayaks cost me $500-1200 and I can throw 3-4 of them in the back of my truck 70-80# each, No one is picking up a 200# skiff and "roof topping" it.
White Water rivers for small mouth in WV and crabbing in the bay, we camp out of them for 2-3 days.
you can see Dover Bridge in the backgroundWhere at on the Choptank???
Great place. I need to get back there. I'm sure it's changed a lot since I was there 15 years ago.Went to Belize for bonefish with the wife. Did pretty well and did some scuba and spearfishing as a bonus. Definitely will get back there as soon and often as possible.
We went to Hopkins 15 years ago and back there this time. It's growing a bit but still looks like its own self instead of overly touristy to the point of being Florida minus drinking age like Mexico and other places are.Great place. I need to get back there. I'm sure it's changed a lot since I was there 15 years ago.
Looks like a one fish limit in a narrow slot for rockfish this year.
19-24” applies to charters too.
Let me finish sadly packing up my hunting stuff and I'll dust off the fishing stuff.Man this thread isn't getting much attention lately. What happened to all you hardcore fisherman? Come on and knock the dust off those rods and get out for some fishing action!
