With C&R in the Bay right around the corner, just got some encouraging reports(and pics) from dudes at work jigging out of their skiffs down by Calvert Cliffs the last 2 weeks.

Several 50" grade of fish coming on BKD's jigged near the bottom. Won't be long now!! :fishing:

Thank you sir. There is a lot of good info in that thread for sure. We didn't end up going, our room got canceled out from under us a few weeks in advance and we couldn't find anything within our budget by then. Hopefully this season I/we can make it up there.

Sorry to hear it. Most thorough info I've ever seen about fishing a particular area. Hope you guys get to go at some point.....happy fishing.

Long range forecasts are calling for an abnormally warm March, with the exception of this upcoming weekend. The run could be underway in very short order.

I'm guess and say this is most likely at the power plant down that way. I talked to a coworker today whose brother just started picking them up there.

The water temp at TPL is 40 degrees right now and at Tolchester station it's 42.6. I've caught them in 45 degree water. If Sand Flea is right about unusually warm March it could be as soon as two weeks

Calvert Cliffs bite has been going on for at least a month. That place is become the BB sewer pipe of the winter- dozens of boats every weekend.

it's at the power plant though right? that water is significantly warmer. hell in VA on 4 mile run you can fish at teh water treatment plant and catch anything and everything including tilapia and even goldfish pushing close to a pound.

I saw an osprey coming down 95 tonight near the Potomac. Along with the peepers, that's always the surest sign.

Exactly. There are fish there every winter. I know someone who probably released a potential state record there recently.

Hey guys just remember that the reason for the C&R season is to protect the brood stock. Many of us don't fish that season for that very reason and that's our choice. For those that choose to do so please treat them gently when caught. For those photo opps remember to cradle her so she's not vertical. Her internal organs weren't meant to be in that position. If at all possible try to release her while she's still in the water. You can still get a measurement. Have fun and above all protect future generations of one of our Maryland treasures. Thanks guys. See you after the C&R season.

"cradle her so she's not vertical. Her internal organs weren't meant to be in that position"
