Report:
Chumming for Striped Bass (Rockfish)continued to be hot throughout the week. We are using an alewive and razor clam mixture for chum and the 5/0 circle hooks are baited with alewive, clam, or soft crab. Depending on the current, various sized weights are used to get the bait in front of the fish. We have been able to limit out in about two hours. I've done a little exploring for daytime croaker and perch in the main part of the bay without much success. Some Black Drum have been caught off the Choptank.
