Fish and Eat Cheap

Type: Chesapeake
Region: Middle Bay
Location: Ridge, MD

This past week I was able to fish from the Chesapeake Bay to the Potomac and in between.

Blue catfish and chain pickerel have become standard cool weather fare but Mike Henderson of Buzz'a Marina in Ridge showed me how to tandem jig for those big striped bass. From a sporting point of view, jigging trumps trolling.

There are still plenty of rock biting in Ridge. Enjoy this mild December weather. Also, my latest book: "Fish and Eat Cheap" just hit Smashwords. The free download might wet your appetite for some fresh fish.
