 Spring '08 Chesapeake Bay Trophy Rockfish season - PICS!!!We did pretty good out on the Bay this spring, limited every day but one and we were on our way in by 1000 at the latest. My son caught his 3 biggest fish ever, the biggest being a nice 37" female full of roe (the pic is foggy b/c the camera lens got soaked). As he was reeling the 1st striper in, he says "Come to Papa!!!" My buddies were cracking up and that quote has now stuck!
On the big one he caught, he's got the belt on and she was a handfull. I'm telling him bring the rod up, now reel down, rod up, now reel down. Naturally, the biggest fish he catches is the furthest line out and after 5 min. of reeling I tell him she's getting tired, he goes "And so am I!" Again he left us laughing pretty good Also shown are a 40" and 2 42"ers and the biggest I caught this season was a "skinny" 44"er shown in the last pic.

Nice fish! That is one heck of a fishery, last trip up there during the week between Christmas and New years we caught several fish over 40 LBS with the largest weighing 52 LBS... mind boggling to me. Looks like your son is having a BIG time!!!

So that is where they go. OK you have had your fun. Time for the cows to head north to "Vacation Land". I promise we will let a few come home.
Very nice stripers. What were you using for bait? Live? Artificial? I'm a live liner. _________________ Keeper of the Mountain Province Division Tenth Legion Your eye in the Northeast sky Coalman's Online Blog http://coalmansblog.com |

We had a blast, Justin caught his 3 biggest fish ever that day and we had a 6 man limit by 0845. For the Spring trophy season we troll w/ umbrella & parachute rigs w/ bucktails, shad, & teasers. Over the summer months however, we live line like you do.
