We've compiled a list of the upcoming Winter and Spring 2010 fishing and boating trade shows and expos that are in Maryland (or close by). If you know of a show that should be on this list but is not, please let us know so we can add it. Fishing shows are a great way to shake the winter doldrums, pick up a few angling tips, check out the latest tackle innovations, and spend some time talking fishing or boating with some great people.

1881 Striped Bass Fishing
I recently found an article from a monthly magazine published in 1881
entitled simply "Striped Bass." It is fairly easy to that the angler's
reverence of the striped bass is not Johnny-come-lately. Seems like
fishermen from the late-1800's pursued the striped bass as eagerly as we do
today.

PODCAST: Rockfish ONLY Fishing Forecast, December 18, 2009
Download now or listen on posterous
Striper season for MD closed on December 15 and it has been one heck of a Fall season. By all estimates it was probably one of the best fall seasons we have had in quite some time. A lot of anglers hooked up with citations and personal best catches. There were plenty of Rockfish caught over 40lbs and some above 50lbs.

PHOTOS: Catch and Release Jetty Stripers
Maryland Striped Bass season has ended, but catch and release is still an option. Striper Dave proves to the skeptics that stripers still bite when both the weather and the water are cold - you just have to know where to go, when to go, and how to fish it once you are there.
