2019 Spring Trophy Rockfish Season

/in /by

Spring Trophy Rockfish Season on the Chesapeake Bay is right around the corner.  Trophy Season starts:  Saturday, April 20th and goes to May 15th.  During this period, all striped bass (rockfish) must be 35 inches or longer and each customer is allowed to keep one.  From May 16th to December 15th, the size requirement is 19 inches and each customer is allowed two fish and the  crew can keep one.

We run two trips a day, seven days a week.  Mornings depart at 5:30 a.m. and afternoons at 12:30.  Weekdays are always easier because the crowds are smaller.  We can take a max of 6 customers.  Less folks is fine, but pricing is flat for the boat and we do not mix groups—-one group hires the boat for their private charter.

We currently have Opening Day open, as well as April 23, 24, 25, 28 and 29.  Email for May and June trip availability.

2019 Maryland Striped Bass Season is Right Around the Corner

/in /by

The 2019 Maryland Striped Bass (Rockfish) Season begins on Saturday, April 20th.  These first few weeks comprise our “Trophy Season” where the large, migratory Stripers are in the Chesapeake for their annual spawning ritual.  This is BIG FISH time where the Rockfish average 15 to 45 pounds!  Each customer is allowed one fish that measures 35 inches or greater.  We are excited to get back out on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay and chase these trophy fish.
We run 2 trips a day, 7 days a week.  Mornings depart early–5:15 / 5:30 a.m. and afternoons at 12:30.  Weekends get very crowded out there and boats spook fish, so we highly recommend booking a weekday if at all possible.  We  provide all licenses, rods, reels, lures, tackle, and fishing equipment.   It’s a short window for the jumbos and trips are booking up quickly so don’t procrastinate in securing your Spring date.
