Seasonal Activity Chart
Striped Bass
While Elkton isn't directly on the Chesapeake Bay, the tidal freshwater reaches of the Elk River offer a unique opportunity to target striped bass. These fish migrate up the river, especially during the spring spawning run and again in the fall as they move back down the bay. Focus your efforts around the I-95 bridge and other areas with deeper water and current. Spring (April-May) and fall (October-November) are the peak seasons. Live-lining herring or eels can be incredibly effective, but casting swimbaits and crankbaits around structure can also produce results. A key local tip is to pay attention to the tide – striped bass often feed aggressively during tide changes. Be sure to check Maryland's striped bass regulations before heading out, as they can change frequently. The stripers here tend to be migratory, so their size and abundance can vary, but it's a great place to intercept these iconic fish.
