This is the only thing that concerns me. Livelinning has been very good the last two years, but mostly in the bay. Last year off Sharps Island Light was good. This year, several places in the bay have been good. All around Poplar Island has been good, and in the mouth of Eastern Bay has been good. I don't know which river you are referring to, but maybe there just aren't enough rockfish in the area you are fishing.
I don't here many reports of success livelinning in the rivers. Smaller rock seem to hang in the rivers and bigger rock (for livelinning) concentrate in the bay proper.
However, that being said; many jigging enthusiasts seem to do well in the rivers with jigs and top water plugs in low light situations.
