Winter Catch-and-Release Striped Bass Fishing

Looking to Get Out of the House This Winter?

This is your chance to catch a trophy Chesapeake Striped Bass

During the catch-and-release season in mid-December, giant migratory striped bass begin to enter the Chesapeake Bay where they prepare to spawn in the spring. This is your shot to catch a 20+ year old striped bass, all on artificial lures.

This time of the year can be a grind, with freezing weather, and constant wind in the winter, but once you land one of these beautiful fish, you won't even notice your cold fingers. It is truly a magical experience landing one of these fish.


We are still looking for working birds at this time in open water and using soft plastic jigs, and metal jigs to target these fish.
