Upper Bay bite is on

Seven-year-old Abigail Mottur caught this keeper near the Prudence Island ferry dock on a Storm Shad.

Peter Phipps, one of my editors, was jogging at India Point Park this morning, and he spotted striped bass feeding on menhaden between India Point and Bold Point. A fisherman on shore had caugh some just-legal fish.

The bass bite has been tremendous from Prudence Island to the north, says Sam Toland of Sam's Bait & Tackle.

Fishing a 3-inch jerkbait, 5-year-old Charlie Mottur caught a 24-inch bass and his sister, Abigail, 7, caught a 31-inch keeper on a 4-inch Storm Shad. They were fishing near the Prudence Island ferry dock, Sam said.
