Chesapeake Bay Stripers Photo By neekos We slipped out of York River and headed across Chesapeake Bay. We found a nice lonely spot on the channel's west edge and set out 4 floating eel rigs. 20 minutes later one of the floats disappeared and we reeled up a nice fat 38" Striper. A few minutes passed and it was Bubba's turn, he reeled up 46 inches of beautiful striped, big headed, fat bodied fish. By mid-am we had a limit of beauties!
