2 ounce bucktail jig with a 6 inch white grub twister tail. If by boat, focus right off V/B on the Bay bridge and look for times where tide is changing. If by land, then you got to scout out beach areas and or inlet jetties. Personnaly, I hate jettie fishing. Crowded and just to tied down.

Seriously, if its a short vacation and you want to spend more time having fun then working at it, call a local guide. There's a ton of local guides and all got pages. Find one leaving from V/B that agrees to focus on Stripers, and in bay VS ocean fishing.

My end of the bay was from Middle River, Hart Island, down to Inner Harbor, Annapolis/Severn River, Dundalk area. Occasional runs to Elkneck, and have run the C&D. Eastern Bay, Choptank, and Chesapeake Beach were destination on occassion. Yet all in all, fishing in and around bridges when tide changing was always best for me.

Right now, I can taste a Natty Bo and a Maryland Crabcake.........me thinks I have salt water withdraw syndrome.

Have a great trip. Worst case.......think crabs!
