There’s a shift happening in Chesapeake Bay angling.
“People are pivoting, and they should be,” said David Sikorski, executive director of the Coastal Conservation Association in Maryland. “It used to be all stripers all the time. I find now more people view angling as an experience on the water, versus needing to target an exact species.”
Sikorski is worried about the dire state of the striped bass population.
