Good Day Rockfish(Striper) Fishing

[Panthrosan]

Went out on the 17th with a co-worker and another friend out of Chesapeake Beach Maryland and headed out into the bay after some Rockfish(Striper for those non-Marylanders) We left the dock around 7:30AM and motored out to a spot straight out from the Marina. Trolled there for about 45 minutes with nothing happening but it was a good time shooting the sh*t amongst ourselves and grab some breakfast. Right around 8:30 we conferred and said that we would give the spot another 10 minutes and then head down a ways. No sooner do we say that we had 3 rods hook up as we trolled over a bump. Reel them in and we have 4 keepers as my buddies rod had a double on it. We reset the rods and turn around and head back over the bump. All 5 rods hit and the mad dash to reel them in ensues. After that we had another 6 keepers with another double. We 3 had our limit so we turned around to get 2 for the boat and mate and hadn't even gotten back to the bump and we get all 5 rods with a fish on again. We got the max limit and culled the 2 short fish and headed back in. We were only 10 minutes straight out from the Marina and we were back on the dock with a full boat at 9:15. We were back so fast that the cleaning guys onshore had to be called in as we were returning. We were done so fast we still hit Rush-Hour traffic from people heading into DC/Montgomery County but at least we were sitting in traffic with full coolers
