Potomac River

Lower bay fishermen tend to have one thing on their mind right now in the lower bay/Tangier Sound areas and that is the large fall migrant striped bass. This fall season has turned out to be a good one with the quality and numbers of large striped bass being caught in the lower bay areas. Charter boats are always a popular way to gain access to these fish since the boats are comfortable and forgiving in inhospitable fishing conditions and the captains really know how to put their clients on fish. The main shipping channel on both the western and eastern edges have been very productive as well as traditional hot spots like Hooper's Island Light, Cove Point Buoy 72, Tangier sound and the mouth of the Potomac.
