Water Temperature 56 Water Clarity 3' Seas 2' to 3' Weather windy Fishing For Trophy Striped Bass Location Chesapeake Bay near Annapolis, Md. Bait Sassy Shad Lure Bucktails and Spoons Depth 25' to 140' Captain John Wilkinson Report The Maryland Chesapeake Bay striped bass trophy season opened on Saturday, April 17th. The weather over the first weekend left much to be desired. We had gusting winds to 35 MPH with 3 foot seas. It was not fun out there, but Monday's weather made up for the bad weekend, plus the fish were biting. We caught our limit of some rotund 30 to 38 inch fish. For all of you fisherman out there, now is the time when you will have your best chance of catching your trophy striper. This Chesapeake Bay season will end on May 15th, and the boat will be moved to Atlantic City, NJ for the remainder of the fishing season.
