12/6/12 - Trophy striped bass in Chesapeake Bay

Warm weather can slow the migration of jumbo-size striped bass along the Atlantic Coast, but that hasn’t been the case this fall. Good numbers of wall-hanging size stripers are being caught in the lower end of the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia.

Some of the best action is from the Cape Charles south to Kiptopeke. Other fish are being caught near the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. Some are in excess of 40 inches and 40 pounds.

Dr. Ken Neill fished off Plantation Creek this week where he and friends boated eight stripers and missed eight to 10 more. Neill got one that weighed 55 pounds.

The Bay striper season continues through Dec. 31 and is destined even to get better. In January, the action will switch to the Virginia Beach waterfront and off the barrier islands of the Eastern Shore.

Most of the Bay fish are being landed on live eels that traditionally are fished beneath floats adjusted for various depths. Other fish are being caught trolling, sight fishing and jigging.

The stripers are making their annual southern migration from as far away as New England. Fishing in the New York and New Jersey hotspots has been disrupted by Hurricane Sandy, and that cold mean more big fish for Virginia anglers.
