Striped Bass
The Chesapeake Bay surrounding Baltimore offers a fantastic striped bass fishery. The unique brackish waters and abundant forage make it an ideal habitat. Spring and fall are peak seasons, coinciding with the striper migration. During these times, focus on areas near the Bay Bridge, the mouths of rivers like the Patapsco, and areas with structure. Chumming is a popular technique, but trolling with umbrella rigs and casting lures around structure also produce. Numerous boat ramps are available throughout the Baltimore area, including those at Fort McHenry and Canton Waterfront Park. A local tip: keep an eye on water temperature and salinity levels. Stripers tend to prefer cooler water with a slightly higher salinity. Baltimore stripers are known for their size and fight, so be prepared for a battle. Always check the Maryland Department of Natural Resources website for the latest regulations regarding size, creel limits, and seasonal closures.
