Fall Fishing on The Chesapeake

Temperatures are dropping but the fishing is heating up nicely!   Residual winds from Hurricane Matthew cost us a few days of fishing, but we were lucky to be spared from the actual storm.  We are using up the last of our live bait stash to live-line Rockfish limits on light tackle.  We are still […]

Time is Running Out for Live-Lining

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 […]

Live-Lining in Full Swing

We’ve been catching light-tackle-limits of Striped Bass with some Blues mixed in while live bait fishing in the mid Chesapeake Bay.   Bottom-Fishing for eating-size Spot and White Perch has also been excellent.  August was one of Last Hurrah’s busiest month’s ever and we are now booking up for September.  Come on out and fish […]

Live-Lining Limits

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. […]

Mixing it Up in the Upper Bay

We’ve been too busy fishing to post a report for a while.  The catching continues to be very good especially when excessive crowds aren’t present.  We are boxing limits of Rockfish on every trip along with Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel.  In addition, bottom-fishing for Spot and White Perch have improved.  Customers have been enjoying a […]

Mixed Bag Time

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.

Rockfishing Continues to be Excellent

Another summer of big Rock.  Trolling and Chumming are still producing limits of Striped Bass (a.k.a. Rockfish).  We’ve been boxing limits of unseasonably large Stripers up to 37 inches.  Hopefully, the Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish will be here soon.  We have a few dates in July left.  Give us a call.

Burning Fuel to Find the School

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 […]

Chesapeake Rockfishing at its Finest

The live bait still hasn’t made an appearance, but that hasn’t stopped us from smashing big Striped Bass (a.k.a. “Rockfish”) on almost every trip for the last six weeks.   The action has been exciting to say the least with multiple hook-ups commonplace.  There have  been a few occasions when we hooked 25-28 Rockfish simultaneously!
