Fishing lately has been great. Stripers have been schooled up in large number. The rockfish have been all sizes with nice fish biting in flurries. Fly fishing has been real good with even beginners catching lots of stripers in the mid twenty inch range. Jigging soft plastics has also been great. When conditions have been right the topwater bite has been good too.

The Susquehanna Flats were off and on this year but we did manage to catch some nice stripers. Starting to find fish in Eastern Bay now.
Fishing on the Susquehanna Flats was ok with a few big fish caught but the water is muddy now. Started fishing Eastern Bay today and caught stripers up to 11 pounds. Fishing here should only get better.
Although the fishing last week was an on and off bite, when it was on it was spectacular with some big stripers up to 36 inches showing up. Casting and jigging soft plastics has been doing well. Fly fishing with big flies has done just as well.
This past week despite lots of boat traffic fishing has been great. Stripers up to 30 inches are chasing bunker on the surface. Catching them on poppers has slowed a bit but casting or jogging Bust em Baits has been catching rockfish steadily. Fly fishing with sinking lines continues to be real good to0. I am also proud to announce that I am on the pro staff for Bimini Bay Sunglasses by Salt Life and they are awesome.

Even with crazy weather patterns lately fishing has still been good. Stripers and a few blues are breaking on top. Fishing structure has been producing some nice stripers.
