The bad weather that was forecast for Saturday came late and allowed fishers from throughout Maryland's Bay region to get out on the Chesapeake and stick some big rockfish. Overall the reports that are coming in are that anglers had good action from the Bay Bridge all the way south to the Maryland Virginia line. Capt. Greg Buckner on Miss Susie Charters had his limit for his entire party by 6:38am. Tidal Fishers are still posting their fishing reports on Tidal Fish's Maryland Fishing Forum. Some areas such as north of the Bay Bridge were a little slow, but other areas in the southern sector seemed to be hot. I talked to a friend this afternoon who said he was fishing the False Channel area, had great success and had a few hundred other boating friends to enjoy the fun.This weather front that is settling in will change the game a little, butin a days time the action should be back up and going.Pictured: On top the crew from the Reel Affliction. Their report "Great weekend, on opening morning we never got more than 3 rods out before catching a limit at 6:15, final tally by 8:00am was 22 fish. White lures off the boards were hot."Below left is Tidal Fisher Thrillseeker with a nice rockfish that hit a green unbrella 45/50 ft. back middle of channel near Matepeake in 100ft. water.Below right is Tubby with two nice rockfish.You can catch all these fishing pictures in the 2012 Rockfish Opening Day Picture thread by clicking here Tons of other fishing reports are on the Maryland Fishing Forum , visit it by clicking here Upcoming Maryland Rockfish fishing Tournaments:May 4  6The Worlds Largest Striped Bass TournamentThree Days of Tournament Fishing!May 4-6th, 2012Over 48 Chances to Win!If you are looking for information like weather, tides, tackle shops, charters for fishing Maryland check the Maryland Fishing Information thread by clicking here Thanks all for today, get out there and catch some fish!Brandon
