A Bright and Cool Labor Day Weekend
Spot and bluefish continue to be the mainstay in local waters.
Bluefish weathered the storm and are breaking near the Target Ship.
The blues are in the ship's channel from The Choptank south to the Atlantic. Breaking fish are taking cast lure from light tackle fishermen. Trollers using surgical eel lures and spoons are loading up.

There is a good sprinkling of Spanish mackerel mixed with the bluefish.
Rouge 40-inch rockfish caught and released by Miss Susie Charters Saturday out of Arnold, MD. It took a wrong turn on its way to Nantucket.
Bull redfish got skittish with last week's storms but have again been sighted with the return of normal weather. Cobia is scarce but could show in quantity anytime.
Chris shows off this beauty from Cedar Point.
Spot are plentiful and big in the Patuxent from St. Leonard's Creek south to Cedar Point. There are huge quantities of 3-to-4-inch croakers in the northern Patuxent.
Spot are pleasing all ages in the Patuxent!
The Potomac has spot at Cobb Island and Ragged Point.
Spanish mackerel from ship's channel last Saturday.
Striper seasons are now open in both the Potomac and Maryland waters. Lure casters in the shallows are catching them daily now that the super high tides caused by the Hurricane out in the Atlantic have returned to normal. Trollers will now find them on the 20-to-30-foot edges in the rivers. They love the small tandem and umbrella rigs.
Stripers back in the Patuxent as tides return to normal.
White perch remain in deeper water as the high tides have stained the shallower creeks. This could change overnight, and conditions return to normal.
Sam shows a flounder caught near Point Lookout this week. Flounder are making a comeback in the bay.
Mother nature has smiled on us; the forecast for the next ten days has temperatures in the 70's and light breezes.
Let's go fishing!
