Hi, thank you. Thanks for leaving a comment. I hope you have many great and safe trips on your kayak. Tight lines!

You are welcome, thank you for watching and commenting.

Hi, thank you. I don’t plan on making money from my videos so there’s no clickbait or fake excitement. Just some fun fishing and information :)

Hi, thank you for the kind words. Hopefully you will get a chance one of these days and be a bit better prepared. Take care.

On my List also

You're welcome, and thank you.

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’m not a flashy KZfaqr, so I try to make up for that by providing useful information. Take care.

You're welcome. I'm glad it helped. I know it can be tough starting out and it's not a cheap investment. Good luck and have fun.

John, hopefully a weekend of house work will earn you a couple weekends of fishing.

Get used to circle hooks and you will never go back.

Hi, thank you. Yes, we do have some great fishing in the area. I’m looking forward to getting back out soon. Good luck.

Hi, thank you. I try to share something I’ve learned the hard way in each video. I appreciate the kind words.

Hi, thank you. Be careful what you wish for :)

@@EnjoyingRetirement 😂

Hi, thank you. I appreciate it. I was surprised that no one else had claimed Enjoying Retirement before me, I reckon I got lucky. Self fulfilling prophecy 😀

Thanks, the bay is a great place. Good luck.

Thank you

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words.

Hi, thank you. I’m still surprised that Enjoying Retirement wasn’t taken. Anyway, I’m excited to have the weather warming up and the bay beckoning. Take care and good luck.

Hi, thanks. Best of luck fishing. I hope the video helps. Take care.

Thanks

Thank you very much, I appreciate it. Tight lines.

Hi, thank you. I hope the information helps. It took me several years to start catching fish somewhat regularly out there. With luck this video will help lessen the learning curve for others. Thanks for subscribing, in fact you became my 400th subscriber! This video has really caught on. My thanks to you and everyone else who has subscribed.

Thanks, from my perch that’s how I see it :)

@@EnjoyingRetirement AWESOME !!!!🤣

Hi, thank you very much. Once it starts getting warmer again I'll be back on the bay and hopefully get some more local videos out. For now I'm enjoying going to other places and doing other things. There's a lot of ways to enjoy retirement and I hope you'll enjoy some of my other videos as well. Take care, Ted

Hi, if you do I hope this helped. Tight lines.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Hi, thank you. I do recommend a fish finder, but it’s not essential. I like the ability to see if there’s life underneath me or not, but they’re not foolproof in a kayak in a moving tide. If you don’t have one, then spend a few minutes here and there, if you get no bites then move on. If not the rock pile, then sooner or later one of the pilings may do it for you. Of course the key is having enough live fish for bait, or jigging with plastics. Good luck, have fun.

Hi, thanks. The last day of rockfish season in 2021 is December 10th here in Maryland. Good luck.

Thanks so much and I’m give you 👍🏻

Thank you, I appreciate your support.

Hi, In the bay I use my 2015 Hobie Outback. I love it. Perfectly fine for the bay, just have to time it and go when the wind is down under 7.

I launch from the main boat launch at Sandy Point, much closer than the kayak launch.

Hi, I can speak for the Severn and say yes. We’ve still got a few more weeks before they start moving to deeper holes in the river and bay.

There should be plenty of smaller perch in the rivers. The larger perch seem to hold out in the bay and river mouths this time of year

Hi, It’s a 2015 Hobie Outback.

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. Good luck with your channel. There’s a learning curve to getting started but don’t let it get you down. Have fun with it.

1 rockfish 19" or over ,per person per day

Hi, not yet. I haven’t seen any nor have I heard of any others catching them up here. The primary fish I’ve seen around the rock pile are striped bass, bluefish and white perch. A couple years ago I heard of a black drum up here also. Close by are also croakers, spot, catfish, yellow perch, skates, and occasionally flounders and speckled trout. I wouldn’t be surprised to see more southern fish make there way up here in the coming years though. Heck, even dolphins are coming up here again.

Hi, unfortunately that lure has come and gone from my box. Hung up on something and lost it. I believe it was a blue/silver.

I stand corrected, looks more like the silver/black. I use both.

Yes, it will, if the fish and conditions are cooperating.

Hi, I recommend you check out snaggedline.com and introduce yourself in the Maryland section. Though the participation isn’t as high as it was before, you might be able to find someone to meet up with. Good luck.

Hi. I use a medium as well as a medium-heavy rod. 6’6”, with Penn spinfisher 4500 reels. I usually have 20 or 30 pound braid on them and use 20 pound mono leader. Above the swivel I generally have a half ounce sliding sinker, some folks will go with an ounce or more if the marks are reading deep. I hope that helps.

@@EnjoyingRetirement Thank you. I enjoyed your video and really want to try fishing the Bay Bridge by kayak.

Hi, it’s both. I’ve noticed quite a few fish throughout the world are called rockfish, probably for the same reason that in Maryland we call Striped Bass, Rockfish. It’s definitely not the same rockfish you will find on the west coast or other places. In the east you will see Striped Bass referred to with their formal name as well as Rockfish or Stripers. Thanks for watching.

@Nomen Clature bro your like 9mths late on the reply thanks tho

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Yes, they are very much regulated. Check the state’s game and fish department for the specific rules. They vary by state, and even within the state depending upon what water you are on, as well as by time of year.
