I fish in the area known as the Middle Bay (the middle third of the bay from the Upper Bay Bridge to the Virginia line) and I have to admit that I've caught more small stripers ranging from 6 inches to 14 inches while fishing for white perch this year than as far back as I can remember. While we had a few nets found this past spring the weather was not conducive to a lot of fishing most of the year and there was a lot more oversight than previous years. Perhaps there is hope. My previous post was the result of my pessimistic view of the breeding ground grab (everyone here on the Chesapeake wants more than their share!).
My fishing buddy went out tonight (I had to mow the yard) and caught 20 or so small stripers on those little beetle grubs with spinners... that's a good sign of a chance for hope.
