Hello Rock On Charter Fishing Community, Get ready for the latest Rock On Report – your go-to source for all things fishing in Middle Bay! Winter Striper Fishing is Here! Snow, ice, freezing rain—less than ideal, but fear not! In just six weeks, March Trophy Striper fishing kicks off with better weather. March is prime time for those seeking a personal best with 40†plus rockfish.

Birds are active, but utilizing electronics on contours and structures has proven to yield fantastic trophies. Remember, metal on or near the bottom is the key, and BIG BAITS like G-eye jigs (1oz and 1.5oz) with 7’-8’ Z-man plastics are your ticket to landing big fish. Flutter jigs and spoons are also delivering great results. Perch: Metal on the bottom is enticing the perch, with schools reaching a whopping 20’ thickness.
