Live-lining in the Chesapeake Bay Fishing for Stripers
So, now that trophy Striper season has ended, we tried live-lining for them. That is when you catch a mess of Spot, put them in the livewell, then find Stripers holding to structure and let the live Spot swim free on a circle hook and wait for the action. We chose to drift as we live-lined, and I've got to say it is pretty relaxing until you have multiple fish on at the same time.
Now I know it can't always be this easy, but we limited out by 11:10 AM on Saturday. If we'd known ahead of time that we'd be throwing at least six back while we culled for biggest fish, we could have either been done sooner, or had more big fish in the final tally of filets.
Conditions were about perfect: just a slight breeze, sunny and about mid-80s, with the water in the mid to high 70s.
Here is a pic of the results:
