Summertime Fishing on The Chesapeake

/in /by

Rockfishing in the Upper and Mid Chesapeake Bay continues to be pretty good to excellent depending on the day and conditions.  The fish have been feeding in short windows, so timing and attention to detail have been critical.  Last Hurrah Charters has now boxed 28 consecutive Rockfish limits for its customers and hopes to keep the streak running!  Most of the fish have been ranging from 20 to 24 inches but we’ve boxed quite a few 28 to 33″ as well.  We are trolling and chumming to fool the fish and we will start live-lining if/when the Spot arrive.  White Perch fishing has started and should only get better as the summer progresses.  We have a few dates left in June and several in July.  We offer 2 trips a day, 7 days a week.  (Weekdays are always better as ignorant crowds spook fish on the weekends).

Here are a few  pics of happy customers from the last couple of days….

Fishing is Good–Rockfish Limits Every Trip

/in /by

Some days are tougher than others, but Last Hurrah Charter Fishing LLC has boxed Rockfish limits on 22 consecutive charter trips.  Every day, a different pattern unfolds and the fishing tactics require constant adjustments.  When the bite window is open, the fishing gets productive fast with Rockfish up to 34-inches coming over the rail.  Last Hurrah Charters still has a few June trips available.  We are also currently booking July and August charters.   Here are some pics from recent trips….

Summer Rockfishing on the Chesapeake

Fishing is excellent right now when the crowds aren’t spooking the fish and ruining it.  Weekdays are best and we have a handful of prime June weekdays available for charter.  If you have to go on a weekend, we have some June afternoon trips still open on Saturdays and Sundays leaving around 1:00/1:30.  The grade of Rockfish is very good with 26 to 35 inch fish being commonplace.

Here are a few, recent pics….

16 Consecutive Rockfish Limits and Counting….

Last Hurrah Charters has boated limits of Striped Bass (Rockfish) on every trip so far since trophy season ended—16 charters and counting.  Be part of the streak and book a trip soon while the bite is still hot.  We have several weekdays left in June available for charter.  Let’s go fishing on the Chesapeake!   Here are some pics from the past week with pretty, resident Rock from 20 to 35 inches.

Resident Rockfish Season is off to a Banner Start!

/in /by

May 16th was the first day of 2 Rockfish per angler, 20-inches +.  Fishing for these resident Rockfish has been as good as it gets!  Last Hurrah Charters has boxed ten consecutive limits the past week.  The grade of fish has been large and the action has been fast and furious.  Most limits have been coming within an hour of fishing…some within minutes of deploying lures.  Hooking 5-15 fish simultaneously is pretty common.  We have May 30th, 31st, June 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8  all available for charter.  One group hires the whole boat and we can take up to 6 passengers.

Here are some photos from the past week of trips…

Spring Trophy Season Dates Are Going FAST—–

/in /by

April 15th through mid-May is prime-time on the Chesapeake Bay for the jumbo spawning class of Striped Bass (a.k.a. Rockfish).   75%-80% of the Atlantic Migratory Stock of Stripers spawn in the Chesapeake’s tributaries, but they only stick around for a brief window.   Once water temps get uncomfortable for them, they migrate back out to the ocean and then summer off of the coast of New England.   These few Spring weeks provide anglers with the  best chance at a monster, trophy Rockfish in the 30 to 50 pound class.  As such, it is a high-demand time.  Last Hurrah Charters is booking up very quickly.  We run two trips a day, every day of the week.  Give us a call or email soon before all of the trips are booked.

One group hires the whole boat and we can take up to 6 passengers.  All licenses and gear are provided!
