The Rock on Report
Middle Bay Fishing.
Rockfish are BACK!!
Bluefish ..some really nice ones also!!
Few Mackerel ..not like last year.
Stripers AKA “Rockfishâ€
They are HERE ..or back from hanging out where ever they have been all summer….Same as last week.. Lots of charter boats live lining and trolling, we have been doing top water EARLY and also doing some live lining on structure. Had some small breaking “schoolie†rockfish under birds this week.
Perch
Have not been targeting them as of late. But are getting them when we are trying for spot for live lining.
Spot
Catching all size spots. But, like the perch deeper water. The “rockfish candy†size are still being caught a ton, but some good eating sizes were coming in the boat.

BLUEFISH ARE HERE IN FORCE. They are hitting metal and live lining works great. G-EYE jig RAIN MINNOW 1oz PINK and Silver Sparkle working great. “MACS†are here finally! But not in force as in years past. We are seeing some breaking blues in the PM on structure ..
Speckled Trout. None this week but paddle tails work the best.
Cobia and Redfish
Nothing that we have seem. But are hearing some are being seen around the Choptank.
