Striped Bass
Although Kensington isn't directly on the Chesapeake Bay, the striped bass, or rockfish, are accessible with a bit of a drive. The Potomac River, which is tidal in this region, provides access to striped bass, particularly during their spring spawning run and fall migration. While you won't find the massive schools of fish present closer to the Bay, the Potomac offers a more intimate fishing experience. Trolling umbrella rigs, casting swimbaits, and chunking with cut bait are all effective methods. Spring and fall are the key seasons. Focus on areas with structure, such as bridge pilings, channel edges, and points. Be aware of strong currents and tidal changes, which can significantly impact fishing conditions. Public boat ramps are available along the Potomac, but be prepared for potential crowds, especially during peak seasons. The striped bass population in the Potomac is heavily regulated, so carefully review the Maryland Department of Natural Resources regulations regarding size limits, creel limits, and closed seasons before heading out.
