Calvert Cliffs is a rest stop for migrating stripers. When it's real warm in the winter we get a few big ones staying around all year but it's been so cold that the rips won't hold many big fish until al least March some time. There's always an exception or two, but, you'll probably only catch a few small residents in the conserving energy in the back of the discharge this time of year.

Unfortunately, the power plant has been shut down for Spring cleaning, not to reopen until mid July.

Sorry for the bad news

I'm confused

How was there a rip in front of the powerplant in the "Skip's ( 27 sailfish) post 97 miles for 1 rockfish" post if it is shut down for spring cleaning?

Does anyone have a source that can verify that the powerplant is shut down? I've searched around the internet and could not find a thing.

That rip was them flushing the pipes.

Typically the plant does shut down one reactor in the winter and brings it back up somewhere around Easter though. When it's down to one, forget about it. . .

Francis,
Dont forget about the bubble from the soap they use to clean the reactor.

We would know for certain if it were open if someone would go out there and troll backwards up the rip!!!

 

[Shoremanlax]

Is anyone going to verify if it is open or not? I'd hate to cross from Cambridge in my 12' flat bottom to not catch anything...

If'n thats what your gona be fish'n off of, stay at home. Unless your craft can navigate 3' standing waves, stay at home. Specially this time of year. I'd hate to see ya ruin someones day cart'n your butt to the hospital. No fish is worth that................................:nono:

Here are the RIPS basically anytime the wind blows out of the EAST.

 

[rocksandblues]

i heard the discharge was re routed inland to provide warm water for flushing toilets. No fish are ever there anyway. Its a myth

 

[Charlie VA]

I saw two boats come from there today. Don't know how they did.

 

[Mr Noodle]

Man, now I see why they call 'em the rips. You sure you wanna put a 12 footer into that?
