Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Bob and I were hoping to get the tail end of the perch run at Chesapeake Beach today. Well...we were at the bitter end of the tail as we (Bob) only caught 3 perch.

All told, we visited 6-7 honey holes but only two of them "produced"...if that's what you want to call it.

When we launched, it was in the high 50's and we had a bit of SW wind and it shifted to SE. Me no like.



We started at the jetty and Bob got a lizard and a perch.





But that was it!

Bob noticed some birds working on the other side of the jetty and it was game on with the stripers...on UL tackle!











Peanut bunker...









All of them were between 16" and 19.5"...a few of them just shy of 19". We did keep two that were just over the mark.

I caught two small flounder...



...and Bob caught another lizard.

Had it not been for this school of nice shallow water stripers feeding on peanut bunker, we would have been really disappointed in the day. But we weren't!
