Greetings! I am new to the board and just wanted to intoduce myself. I live near Annapolis, MD. and do most of my fishing from my 19" Center Console. So far this fall on the Severn River and out in the Bay I have been catching a lot of small Stripers and medium Blues. Here are a few pictures:

Hoping to talk to other Maryland fisherman about how their fall fishing is going and what is working well!

hi att, i just got back from a week in rehobeth a little north of you. i spent the week fishing the iri, the mouth del bay, and the beaches at night. iri was the best spot of the bunch. nasty spot but it holds fish for sure. lots of tog everywhere, a few sm stripers, plenty of bs blues, a bunch of tiny trout and 1 modest red from the surf. for those who don't know iri (indian river inlet) makes the canal look like a trout stream. i must have gone through a hundred tog rigs. welcome to the site, paul

Mark - Welcome to S-B. Mostly north east guys here but I'd like to see some more guys that chase "Rocks" as well.

I live in RI now but my early years were on Bodkin Creek and Riveira Beach on the Patapsco... I remember trips of bucktailing bass off the Bay Bridge & shore fishing Sandy Point

Thanks for the replies guys! Niko, yes Indian River Inlet is nice! I have done some surfing in that area.

Thanks John! Yeah, bucktails are a staple around here this time of year! I have even been catching Pike with them right off my pier.

I hope to get out some this weekend! The water temps have started falling off and there are reports of bigger stripers moving into the bay and the tidal rivers. They should begin schooling up in deeper water so trolling with heavy gear is here! Hope to have a picture with me holding something in that 40 inch rannge soon!

Thanks again for the warm welcome and I look forward to talking to you guys!
