Chesapeake Bay Striper Report
Spawning-size stripers have left the bay. Light-tackle jigging and chumming/chunking are producing school-sized striped bass and catfish. The summer season began June 1 and now anglers can fish wherever they wish to in the tidal rivers or bay, and settle into the familiar limits of two fish at 19 inches to 28 inches, or one fish above and one below 28 inches.
