PODCAST: Rockfish ONLY Fishing Report - 11/20/2009 - Southern Maryland Fishing

The fisherman have been back out in force this week. There have been reports of a lot of grass and dirty water. It is clearing up slowly and has gotten better as the days go by.


Water temperatures at Thomas Point are hovering around 54 degrees and Solomons Island water temperatures are hovering right around 58.

The bite has been somewhat scattered and a lot of anglers are just trying to pinpoint the bait to put them on the stripers. Everyone is out there trying to re-establish patterns.
