About Lower Maryland Chesapeake
Deeper water, stronger tides. Point Lookout marks the Potomac confluence; Solomons the Patuxent. Summer brings seatrout and flounder into the reach of shore anglers; fall sends striper blitzes down the shipping channel.
What people fish for here
What anglers are reporting
Lower Bay. Getting out to fish on the lower Bay has been difficult for the past three weekends, but there are excellent fishing opportunities in between. Anglers are enjoying excellent fishing for bluefish this week. Trolling a mix of spoons and surge tube lures has been the most popular and effective way to catch them. The mouth of the Potomac, the Target Ship area and the Middle Grounds are all good places to find them. Make sure to bring plenty of ice to keep them firm in an ice chest. Once they get soft from not being iced, there is no way to firm them up again.
