Maybe it's me but is there a 20" rock in the bay? Fished this morning north of BB. Acres of birds and breaking fish west of LP but all 12 to 16". Found a $hit load more over to the east at mouth of Chester River that were a better class of fish but again not 20". I was on birds and breaking fish till 1pm and left them biting.

Saw you working around me. We moved over to the Belvidere and shut the engine down and waited for the fish to surface around us. Plenty of birds. Had two big hookups on what had to be big rock and boated two 21" macs. A real surprise. Both picked up on crippled herrings lures. 1/2 and 3/4 oz.

They are on the bottom .stay away from birds and breakers . Fish behind and on edges if nothing is showing on finder hunt around . There are allways a few. Getting the jig to bottom without hooking up on a blue fish or dink striper can b the problem I have been using 3oz metal to get down quick.and doing well.

I really miss that this time of year. I use to live and keep my boat about one mile from Love Point. Fish under the undersize rock, or just leave and try to find better size. Hit the shallow water rock piles along Eastern Neck Island with lures like a Chug Bug surface lure, or some kind of plastic on a 1/4 or 1/2 OZ. jig head. Cast to the dark spots in the shallow water on the Kent Island side. Dark spots will be rocks from shore-line erosion out from farms. If you know what I mean. WOW! I would never give that Information out while living there for 25 years. If you do try this, let me know how you do. Send me a PM
