Waxing Gibbous: "The Moon continues to wax. Once more than half of the disc is illuminated, it has a shape we call gibbous. The gibbous Moon appears to grow fatter each night."
Maryland Fishing Report - February 17th, Composed by Lyndsie Pratt of Anglers Sports Center (Click Here)
Rockfish: Some nice schools of bigger migratory fish have moved into the bay and can be caught most from the area of Chesapeake Beach to Point Lookout. Fish are in shallower than what they have been in the last few weeks. Look for then in 20-50 feet of water! Fish can still be caught on the bottom using 1, 1.5 or 2 oz jigs with larger profile plastics, or 2-3oz metal jigs, however, we are also starting to see suspended fish and even fish at the surface, so there is the possibility for some topwater action out there!! We are evening seeing birds working, so you can find fish either by using your electronics or by chasing birds!
Yellow Perch: Yellow Perch are starting to move in more shallow into the typical Eastern Shore spots like Hillsboro, Greensboro, Marshyhope, Martinak, Tuckahoe Creek and Federalsburg. You can also catch them in the Severn and Magothy Rivers. Use live minnows or small stingers like Bust ’em baits and Z-man Micro Finesse Plastics.
Pickerel: Pickerel fishing is still good in many of the same creeks on the Eastern Shore where you can catch yellow perch! The Severn and Magothy are still doing well too, along with Eastern Shore mill ponds. Live minnows still work well, but with these warmer temperatures they aren’t as much of a necessity. Quickly working a jerk bait or paddletail will work very well right now!
