As always we have been busy fishing.  Please always feel free to call me (410) 808 -5105 or email jlewatowski@gmail.com  for up to date fishing conditions and reports.

We had a great early start and a great late season on the Susquehanna Flats this year.  As always , water conditions were tricky but we caught some good rockfish.

The Gupowder River has been fishing great for trout also with above average stream flows and great Spring Hatches.

Catch up with  me for some Summer fishing out of Crisfield MD for Speckled trout rockfish and more. I will be there in late June.

We had a decent Spring season on the Susquehanna Flats this year.  We had some real nice fish in late March and early April before losing some fishing days due to poor water conditions.

We have been fishing from Kent Island , MD on the Middle Chesapeake Bay since late May.  We continue to have great fishing for Stripers  on Eastern Bay and surrounding waters.

Fishing got started early this Spring on the Susquehanna Flats.  We were catching fish by mid March, and we are still catching some sizeable fish this week.  There were some tough water conditions to deal with as always in April, but we kept at it and caught some good fish.

We have had great stream flows and fishing on the Gunpowder River this Spring.  The sulfur mayfly hatch is in full swing and dry fly fishing is great.

March fishing on the Susquehanna Flats

We got an early start fishing on the Susquehanna Flats this year.  Good weather and water conditions have meant some good striper fishing the last week or so.  We have been catching lots of fish on a variety of techniques.

Summer fishing in Ocean City, Maryland

The boat is parked at Fisherman's Marina in West Ocean city for the Summer.  We will be doing lots of fishing this Summer for flounder with conventional tackle in back bay and near shore waters.  Flounder fishing has been great on the inshore wreck and artificial reefs and we have already been catching some good ones. We have been targeting the fish with bucktail jigs or a variety of other deep rigs in 45 to 70 feet of water.

We are taking advantage of fly fishing opportunities when conditions permit.  Incoming tides during low light hours near dawn or dusk have offered some good Striper fishing near the jetties. We have been catching a bunch of fish 18 -27 " on a variety of flies.

Spring Fishing on the Upper Chesapeake Bay and Gunpowder River

We had some good fishing on the Susquehanna Flats during the last couple weeks of May.  We still had some good numbers of fish around this year later in the month, maybe due to the late Spring.  We caught fish on the fly and on light spinning tackle and chased the topwater bite wherever we could find it.

We have been fly fishing the Gunpowder River the last week or so and having good success.  Dry fly fishing has been great in areas of the river where the Sulfur mayfly hatch is in full swing.  Well presented CDC comparaduns or a variety  of other Sulfur dun and emerger patterns have been catching fish.
