Made another trip to fish the perch run and didnt do as well as the last trip. Caught 37 perch, 5 stripers, and 6 blue cats. All were caught on either blood worms or grass shrimp. I have a few questions for those of you who fish this run. Are you anchored and fishing top and bottom rigs or drifting. Are you casting jigs tipped with bait or just straight down. Also how far up river are the fish running to spawn. I was catching lots of fish leaking eggs and males with milt where I was which sits in the middle between two major bidges (if you fish this river you know where I mean).

Another observation, rockfish in the chesapeake are much longer and skinnier by weight than those caught in the coastal bays. The fish in the coastal bays are not long but are shapped like footballs.
