What a Catch
Bob Dever, a member of the Ocean City Fishing Club, caught his first keeper striped bass of the year on Saturday, May 11, at the pier. It weighed in at 26 pounds and measured 42 inches. Dever hooked the fish about an hour before high tide Saturday afternoon, using chunk bunker for bait, and it took about 10 minutes to land. It was caught about 15 minutes after he started fishing, with with a northeast wind. Dever said “the conditions were awesome!”
