Mifflinburg Wins on the Chesapeake Bay
Just three bass get the job done
Pennsylvania’s Mifflinburg High School duo of Ty Stroup and Daniel Walter ground out three fish Saturday weighing 6 pounds, 3 ounces to win the very tough High School Fishing presented by Favorite Fishing Chesapeake Bay Open event in Edgewood, Maryland. The event was hosted by Visit Harford.
The Chesapeake Bay was extremely stingy for the High School anglers, as just four teams brought a keeper bass to the scale. The Mifflinburg duo targeted the grass and credited a green pumpkin-colored Z-Man ChatterBait with a blue Strike King Rage Tail Craw as their key bait.
For their win on the Chesapeake Bay, the team now advances to the 2021 High School Fishing National Championship.
