Fishing in the middle portions of the Chesapeake has focused around trolling and jigging for striped bass.

The cliffs which dominate the shoreline of the Chesapeake Bay for thirty miles in Calvert County, were formed over 15 million years ago when all of Southern Maryland was covered by a warm, shallow sea. Over 600 species of fossils have been identified from these cliffs, with the teeth of various species of shark as the most abundant fossils.

Calvert Cliffs is located in the largest fossil-bearing deposit of Miocene marine sediments exposed on the East Coast of North America -- the Calvert Cliffs of Maryland.

Green jigs are swiming underwater.

Captain says we are going to make another pass by the power plant. Rockfish love the warm water.

Jerry Rogers just takes it easy and slowly reels his bait in.

It took a long bloody battle for Jerry to look at a Rockfish in the mouth.
