The Next Move - Chesapeake Bay?

[Big Water]

Late-September, I'm considering moving my boat to the Chesapeake for some Fall/Winter Striper fishing. Does anyone here know anything about decent marinas, best areas, tactics? I've been looking for a Bay Fishing Forum, but there doesn't seem to be any active forums with much info.

Thanks,

Doug

Look at www.tidalfish.com. You will find that the big fish usually show up late November and will stay until the water temp drops below 39 degrees. Our biggest fish last fall was 42" and 34 pounds. It was caught on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

I like north Jersey...Sandy Hook region. That is where I fish when I can. Trolling for bass is fun, not as fun as Salmon, but fun I can't help with the Chesapeake area, but here is another place you may find info

For a marina with experienced fisherman in the bay that are targeting stripers in the fall start contacting Marinas in Deale, MD or around the NAS Pax River base area. Lots of stiper fisherman out of there. The season ends in early-mid December but that late season is a great time to catch the big ones. Tom Heacock (Foolish Pleasure Charters-410 804-8511) is a great guy to talk to. He has recently downsized his operation but he is very knowledgeable.

Thanks for all the info guys. I'll look into these locations/charters. TidalFish looks like a good site.

Thanks,

Doug
