july august september are the big months IMO, trolling, jigging, chumming, cast lures, but the best way is to watch for the birds working, its blues tearing up bait balls, follow them around for hours if you want cast anything you want into them they will bite anything at all including pretty colors lines.
Metal works best,them thugs will ruin most all plastic,rubber stuff ya through at em.Also when they are in the area don`t try eeling for stripers,because at about a buck an a half a piece you will catch a small blue which most of them are,when the eel gets to about the size of a cigar butt.
I took my 6 year old out last night to jig the rockpiles (as Anglers was closed and couldnt get bait--Wanted to eel in the shallows) We caught a couple blues to 20", a bunch of small rockfish 14-17", and a couple of MONSTER perch. We were just using sting silvers. Gold was the ticket.
Chunking spot would work best but if I am taking the time to catch spot, I am going to liveline 'em
I fished there tonight before the wind came in and there are breaking blues in the current around both rockpiles. Plenty of rockfish too! Jigging metal deep for rockfish, topwater plugs with small bucktail trailer for blues. I posted a report on my website chesapeakelighttackle.com
