I lived on the Potomac River, Tall Timbers MD, for 7 years and never had much luck with bigger "Stripers", just schoolies. Others did and wouldn't share their secrets.

By the way, Where did this term "Rockfish" come from? Stripers like structure but are not Rockfish. I always found Rockfish, not Stripers, on the bottom in deep water. All my time in Maryland I heard Stripers called Rockfish but nobody could tell me why????
