This summers Rockfishing in the upper Chesapeake was really good, even some of the slowest days I was able to catch atleast a few keepers (fish over 18") And also dinks (fish under 18"), some of the better days I bailed fish from 18" to 27" for 5 straight hours non stop!, I had many days where I came home with sore arms from catching so many, and also a sore sto
mach from putting the butt of my rod on my stomach while fighting the fish. I have usually been able to tell where the fish were before I even saw any other clues by smelling the schools of Baitfish getting massacred by the schools of mostly Bluefish, Rockfish, Whiteperch and catfish. The smell is simular to the rinds of a canolope after
its been in the trash for a day. But the start of fall has been even better, simply incredible, I found a big school of fish ranging from 28" to 37" about a week before summer officially ended and so far I have nailed them on my last seven straight trips. Im begining to figure out where they are going to be before they even show up. Theres nothing like catching fish after fish and everyone is a drag peeler over 30"..Jigging metal lures have been the ticket for me, but it has worked so well I haven't tried anything else. The bigger fish have usually been near the schools of smaller fish, but usually in their own school. I have really high hopes that this fall will be one to remember
