It's hard to believe that our
striper fishing is over, and that fishing in the latter days of December was cold, just
like the water. We'd like to thank Sherry and the other members of the Point Lookout
Marina staff for help these last two months. But the "Worm" is now back at
the Rod-N-Reel, tied in her slip, for a well-deserved winter nap. |

December weather continues to
prove challenging, and December 10 was no exception -- temperature in the upper 30s and
steady rain, but at least the waves were only 2 footers. Here's the Mike Fox crew
with some of their catch to 42 inches. From left to right, that's the Fox Man, Jeff,
Richard, Dave, and Mike. |

Here's Jeff with his 42 inch
trophy, largest of the day. |
 |
And the Fox Man, not far behind
with a 39 inch rockfish. Mike had 40 inch or better fish on his two previous trips
with us this fall, and missed the 40 inch "hat trick" by an inch. |
 |
And the other Mike crew member
with his largest of the day, a 38 incher. |
 |
Here's the John Peyton crew from
December 9 with some of their catch to 40 inches. |
 |
And the Dick Smith crew of
December 8 with their catch to 39 inches. From left to right, that's Dick, John,
Harry, Colin, and Phil (Steve, not shown, was off somewhere warm). |
 |
As November turns to December, the
fishing for big stripers continues to be awesome, with catches like these on December 1 by
the Donahower crew. With three fish over 40 inches, it just doesn't get much better
than this. Multiple hookups were common, including a number of doubles on the same
rod. The weather has been very cold and windy, but the fishing has been red hot. |
 |
Here's a closer view of the above
crew. From left to right, that's John, Gordon, Jim, Glenn, and Dave Donahower.
Great catch guys! |
