The weather may still feel like duck hunting season, but Trophy Rockfish season is only a few short weeks away. Captain Scott has been working every day cleaning and maintaining the boat and rigging all of the gear. It takes a lot of time and expense for proper preparation and neither has been spared this offseason. From […]
Don’t be fooled by the crazy weather—Trophy Striped Bass (Rockfish) Season is right around the corner! I still have a few prime dates left to fill. I spent the winter working on tackle and tying enticing lures to catch the big ones. Email or call as soon as possible to book your trips. A $200 deposit is required to confirm your […]
2013 was a great season. Last Hurrah Charters ran several more trips than the previous year and we are proud to have LIMITED-OUT on ROCKFISH ON 75% of ALL TRIPS IN 2013. We take pride in putting fish in the box and we appreciate all of our loyal customers who continue to support us. Repeat customers are encouraged to secure their same date as […]
Fall fishing is in full swing and the fish are schooled up and active. The bite this week was an interesting one. Fishing was slow for periods and then the fish would feed like crazy for brief windows and all chaos ensued. On Saturday, we scratched our way to being […]
It’s about that time. Air and water temperatures are dropping, bait is congregating and the Fall Rockfish bite is about to bust loose. My last post was about “Fall Turnover” and we are currently seeing the effects of this transition. As conditions change, Rockfish are changing up too. Although this weekend’s bite was not consistently good, […]
Fall Turnover on the Chesapeake Fall fishing can be some of the best of the year, but it can take some understanding of the Chesapeake Bay’s transition or “Fall Turnover” in order to put meat in the box. Temperature, salinity and circulation determine the basic aspects of a given body of water. Wind, rainfall, air […]
The stiff northeast wind made for some rough seas last week, but the Rockfish continued to bite well every day. The grade of Rockfish improved while the grade of Bluefish decreased a notch. Most of us are still live-lining using light tackle and live Spot as bait in order to work the Rockfish into feeding frenzies. […]
The Chesapeake Bay is a unique and fascinating body of water. It runs two-hundred miles long and varies from three to thirty miles wide making it the country’s largest estuary. If its shoreline were unraveled, it would reach from the east coast to the west coast and back. Experts believe that the Bay was formed over 10,000 […]
Rockfishing is still excellent along with Bluefishing. White Perch and Spot are plentiful on the bottom-fishing scene. The last few days have been windy and rough, but overall the cooler weather has made conditions more pleasant for us humans and the fish are still biting. Last Hurrah Charters is trying to fill October dates. Contact […]
