This is the new regs for stripers. I think. A bit confusing.
Here is how I read the new rules - don't hold me to fine print - it is confusing.

Flyrob I agree the C&R and trophy seasons are VERY confusing. Biologist - can you chime in here? 4 months ago

Deleted user. I cannot. Nothing is final till the press release goes out. Things could still change. Everyone simply needs to wait for things to be official. It should happen soon. 4 months ago

Flyrob Understood and thank you for letting us know that the final decision is still pending! 4 months ago

mer47 Also thanks for that comeback, we will await the actual changes 4 months ago

1 dead after truck crashes into Conowingo Dam

One person is dead following an early morning crash Tuesday morning at Conowingo Dam, Maryland State Police said.

Flyrob Wow mike that's really sad! As many times as I've crossed the Conowingo Dam in the past 30 years I often wondered how strong that south side concrete barrier was and if it could hold back a large vehicle and apparently not... 6 months ago

porknose Dam was closed yesterday for repairs about 1 pm when we were heading down. Prayers for this guys family, I can't in my wildest imagination what went thru his mind when he went over, what a terrible tragedy. 6 months ago

Flyrob Cool portable fishing lodge Mike, just back up to the water and you've got a room with waterfront view : ) 7 months ago

Fishing has been limited. Twenty two years ago today I got married. You can tell by the second photo that I married well.

Flyrob Hey Mike sounds like a fun trip and you're absolutely right about finding the right bait selection. Sometimes you do have to go with the "hold my beer I'm going to try something" approach to fishing. Nice healthy looking smallmouth. 10 months ago

Wild Bill It is really sad. If you do not mind a road trip the fishing at Point Lookout is on fire. On Tuesday we had steady catching under large herring gulls and gannets. My bud Terry had a monster over 40 pounds. Most fish were in 24"-25" range with some... Show more 2 years ago
