About Mid Chesapeake
The Bay widens across Kent Island. Public piers at Matapeake, Romancoke, and Kent Narrows give shore anglers honest access to striper, white perch, and an increasingly diverse bluefish run. Inland, the Choptank and Blackwater host tidal largemouth and the region's snakehead epicenter.
What people fish for here
What anglers are reporting
Middle Bay. Anglers are enjoying good fishing for striped bass at the Bay Bridge when live-lining spot, small white perch, or eels near the pier bases. The east side of the bridge near the 30-foot drop-off tends to offer some of the best fishing. Most boats are anchoring up current and drifting baits back to the bridge pier bases with good success. Other anglers are enjoying good fishing for striped bass by casting soft plastic jigs and bucktails at pier bases along the bridge. The best opportunities are early in the morning and late evening and a good running tide is always important. Some of the best striped bass fishing is occurring along the shallower waters of the Bay and tidal rivers this week.
