Fishing is fantastic currently.  We are catching live Spot for bait and then using these live baits with light tackle to catch limits of Striped Bass (a.k.a. “Rockfish”).  This is a LOT of fun as the action can be fast and furious such as  15 rockfish caught in less than 10 minutes.   This type of fishing won’t be available for much longer though.  Once the bait leaves the mid Bay, this method is finished for the year.  We are also still catching some Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel.  They too are likely on their migration south.   Give us a call or email today to take advantage of the light tackle bite while it lasts.

Fishing is outstanding right now and our live bait finally arrived!  We are catching limits of striped bass live-lining with light tackle.  We are also catching large Bluefish and a few Spanish Mackerel.  For you bottom-fishing fans, the White Perch and Spot fishing is right!  We caught 360 on a half-day trip the other day.  August is one of our busiest months ever, but we have a few trips open and Sept. has plenty of openings.  We do full and half-day trips with both morning and afternoon departure options.  We do not take singles or do make-up/mixed-group trips so please do not call to ask about them.  One group hires the whole boat and we can take up to 6 passengers.  Come on out and enjoy one “Last Hurrah” on the Chesapeake before the Summer is over.

Rockfishing is still red hot but now the Bluefish are here in numbers too and we’ve even caught a few Spanish Mackerel.   White Perch and Spot are available on the bottom fishing scene.
If you’re a multi-species fan, now is the time to book your trip!

Here are some recent pics.

Long runs and big diesel-fuel bills have been paying off for The Last Hurrah.  She has been busy chasing down limits of quality Striped Bass in the Upper Chesapeake Bay.  We’ve also had some good perch fishing recently.  Bluefish are now here and their numbers should increase at the summer progresses.  We have just a few July dates available and about half of August left to book.  Give us a call or email today to reserve your trip.  Here are some pics of the fun from the last week….

 

 

 

Fishing is red hot on the middle and upper Chesapeake Bay right now.  Last Hurrah Charters has caught 26 consecutive Striped Bass limits and catching 5 to 25 fish simultaneously is commonplace.  Some White Perch are starting to arrive, and they are providing bottom-fishing opportunities as well.   Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel should migrate in a little later in the summer.

Last Hurrah Charters is currently booking its remaining dates for July & August.  Contact us today to book your DAY ON THE BAY!
