The Hurrah is in Annapolis and the Light-Tackle Bite is On!!

The Last Hurrah is currently running out of Annapolis for the next few months.  We are using light-tackle to catch quick limits of Rockfish and the White Perch is getting rolling also.   We had a cancellation for THIS SATURDAY afternoon!!    Email Capt. Scott to book!

 

May 16th— Regular Rockfish Season Commences!

Okay, so the 2019 Trophy Rockfish Season was a challenging one to say the least, but that’s almost behind us.   Starting Thursday, we can catch the resident Rock, the creel limit doubles, and they only have to be 19-inches.
Pack your bags, ’cause we’re going to “SMASHTOWN”!   There are already a ton of nice, resident Rockfish around and we have been catching several each trip for the last week.  The regular season should be a great one with fast action, full coolers and happy anglers.

Last Hurrah Charters is currently booking up its last few May dates as well as June.

Contact us a.s.a.p. to book your trip.

2019 Spring Trophy Rockfish Season

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.

The Fish are Already Wet

Last Hurrah is currently booking up the month of October.  We also still have a few September dates available.
The weather has been wet to say the least, but we don’t worry about the rain…the fish are already wet!  In fact, a little rain can reduce the boat traffic and therefore improve fishing.  (Fish don’t mind rain, but they won’t tolerate hundreds of loud boats running through them.)  There have been some weather-related challenges though, namely Conowingo Dam.  The damn Dam’s open flood-gates cause very strong currents and can push logs into the trolling grounds.  Regardless, we persevere and overcome….86 Rockfish limits out of the last 88 trips!  Lately, when the tide gets right, the fishing can be outstanding.  We hooked over 20 fish at once yesterday!!
So grab your rain jacket, and let’s go fishing!!

 

Two Months Left in the Season

There are only two months remaining in the 2017 Maryland Striped Bass Season and some of the best fishing of the year is about to happen.  Air and water temperatures are cooling and fishing is getting hot.  When the fish decide to bite, the action gets crazy in a hurry.  We had a few trips last week where we hooked 7 to a dozen good fish simultaneously.  The bite should only get better as the Fall unfolds.  We are currently booking trips for November and December.
