Striped Bass
The Susquehanna River near Port Deposit, Maryland, offers a unique opportunity to target Striped Bass in a more riverine environment compared to the open Chesapeake Bay. This area sees strong spring and fall runs of Stripers as they migrate up and down the river. Focus your efforts around the Conowingo Dam, where the current is strong and baitfish congregate. Casting swimbaits or crankbaits in the tailrace of the dam is a productive tactic, as is fishing live bait near the bottom. Be aware of the strong currents and changing water levels, which can significantly impact fishing conditions. The Susquehanna State Park offers access points along the river, providing opportunities for both boat and shore fishing. Check the dam release schedule before planning your trip, as high water levels can make fishing more challenging. Local anglers often recommend using heavier tackle to handle the strong currents and the size of the Stripers that frequent this area.
