It was time to take our fishing to the next level. So we hired Captain Tom Hughes to serve as our guide to learn how to catch more Striped Bass. The trip started out with some worry and disappointment. There was a small craft advisory that had us turning around and heading back for the Patapsco River instead of fishing hot spots on the open bay. All that disappointment turned in to a rabid frenzy of excitement when Captain Tom set up our fish finder and told us that we were on a ton of fish. He said they were mostly White perch but he figured there were some Stripers mixed in. As soon as the first one hit they kept coming at an exhilarating pace. These were some beautiful, but a little undersized Stripers with a few Perch mixed in. We ended up hitting 8 or more fishing spots within the river before the day was over. As a boat we ended up with around 10 White Perch and 40 or more Stripers, with some just an inch or two shy of the 18 inch minimum. Can't wait until next time...
