Oh Well. Nothing is perfect! Especially when it comes to Fishing?

Get yourself a shrimp net and a bucket at a tackle shop and catch all the grass shrimp in grass beds and bulkheads along the shoreline. Grass shrimp to perch is like candy to a kid! I use an ultralight rod and reel with 2 small (No.4) or (No.6) hooks and a one once sinker on the bottom of the line. (6-10 lb test) Lots of fun with light equipment. Bigger perch are found around structure like docks, bridges and bulkheads. I fish the Chesapeake Bay area in Annapolis, Maryland. Fishbites (Blood worms scent) will work also and they will last longer on the hooks. Good luck. Fried Perch is a great meal with french fries, coal slaw & beer.

I like to introduce myself to you guys. My name is Fred (Fritz) Menage and I live in Edgewater, Maryland near our state capitol, Annapolis on the Chesapeake Bay. I have been a lifelong fishing nut and have fished the bay and it's tributaries all my life. I also like to fish the Atlantic Ocean and inshore Florida waters. I have been the past Secretary of the Annapolis Chapter of (MSSA) Maryland Saltwater Sportfishing Association and I am currently Director of Public Relations for the Pasadena Sportfishing Group and a current member of Annapolis Anglers Club. I have entered this photograph of a striped bass that I caught to be considered for the Fish Talk Magazine September Cover issue.
