“Life moves pretty fast.  If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” ~ Ferris Bueller.  It’s hard to believe that it is October already.  The 2014 Maryland Striped Bass season ends on December 15th and that will be here before you know it.  Give Capt. Scott a call or email today to reserve your Fall Chesapeake Bay fishing trip before it’s too late.  Fall can be a magical time on the Bay with breaking fish, diving birds, and intense angling action.   We are still utilizing light-tackle and bait to catch limits of Rockfish every day but we will soon switch to trolling and  jigging.  On the most recent 65 trips, we have boxed full Rockfish limits on 60 of them.  We are still catching some decent Bluefish too.

The last week provided comfortable temperatures and hungry rockfish.  Most days, the rock limits came quickly and the bluefish were either scarce or in great supply.  I received reports  about acres of breaking bluefish eating everything in their path earlier this week.  Each charter boat caught 50-80 of them.   Unfortunately, we were off that day!  We did catch a few large  Spanish Mackerel recently but they are likely on their way south.  Our schedule is starting to open up a bit and we are currently booking the rest of Sept. through Dec. 15th, which is the season finale.

Live-lining for Rockfish with light-tackle is still in full-swing with Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel being boxed on the troll.  Fishing is still red-hot most days with crowds of boats being the biggest hindrance.  Ignorant boat-handlers with no clue, no common-sense, and no courtesy tend to run right on top of deployed lines.  Loud motors, prop-wash, and boat wake spook fish!  Weekdays are always easier fishing.  There is still time to cash-in on the live-lining bite before the bait leaves.  Come on out and go fishing with Last Hurrah Charter Fishing LLC.   Here are some pics from the past week:

 

Rockfishing is so good right now that first-time customers are amazed at how fast we are catching them.  On most trips, we catch 10-15 stripers within a few minutes of setting the anchor.  Fast and furious is just the way we like it.  If you are thinking about taking advantage of the Chesapeake’s bounty this season, now is a perfect time.  The rest of August is filling up fast but Last Hurrah Charter Fishing LLC still has a few prime dates.

We continue to catch quality Rockfish on light-tackle this week as the live-lining bite remains as good as it gets.  Fast limits and a nice grade of fish have been commonplace.  Bait-fishing has improved, as well as the white-perch fishing.  If you’re a light-tackle enthusiast, now is the time to book a charter with Last Hurrah Charter Fishing LLC.  We have a few dates in July and several in August.  Here are some pics from the last few days…
