Now Booking 2021 Fishing Trips. Season Start = May 1st

2020 was one of our busiest years ever, and we are already preparing the boat and gear for the upcoming 2021 season.  The Maryland season will commence:  May 1st with a limit of one trophy rockfish (striped bass) per customer 35 inches and longer.  May 16th through December 10th— two Rockfish per customer with a 19″ minimum.   (There will be two weeks in July or August  t.b.d. when targeting Rockfish isn’t permitted.)

We offer a 5:30 a.m. morning trip and a noon/1:00 p.m. afternoon trip.   We can take a maximum of 6 customers; one group hires the whole boat and pricing is flat.  We will be fishing out of Herrington Harbour North in Tracy’s Landing and CSI Marina in Annapolis depending on where the fish are most abundant.

Spanish Mackerel Time! Open August Dates.

The Last Hurrah is back in Tracy’s Landing (Deale) and we will be chasing Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish for the next two weeks.  This is a blast and the limits are much higher than most fish—-15 macs per man and 5 blues per man.  Let’s go fill the fish-box!  We have the following open dates:
August 18, 19, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29-am only,  30-am only, and 31.

We can take up to 6 customers but less is fine.  Let’s go catching!
Here’s some pics from last week’s live-lining…

 

Fishing is Hotter Than The Weather !!

Summer is flying by quickly, and NOW is the time to book your Chesapeake Bay fishing trip!  We have just a few dates available before September.  It’s looking like we’ll be fishing out of Annapolis until at least mid-August.  Live-Lining for Rockfish has been good to stellar most days with a few successful “grinds” mixed in to keep things interesting.  There is no Rockfishing allowed from August 16th through the 31st.  This will be the time to whack-n-stack, Spanish Macs!   Last year was the best Spanish Mackerel run in Chesapeake history with 30 to 50 fish catches being commonplace.  Bluefish are also starting to make their way up the Bay.  Shoot us an email today and let’s go catching!

Here are some pics from the last few weeks…..



 

Light Tackle Live-Lining is Off the Hook!

Fishing couldn’t be any better, so book your trip now!  We  are using live bait and light tackle to whack-n-stack Rockfish every day.  July 22, 23, 25 and 31st are currently open as are several August dates.  White Perch are also all-you-want most days.

Booking the Rest of May Dates

The Maryland 2019 Fishing Season is off and running!  The Trophy Rockfish run has been tough during the first few days, but the bite is showing signs of improvement and  things can change substantially within a few hours on the Bay.   The legal limit for Trophy Season is:  One  Rockfish (striped bass) per angler, per day at 35-inches or longer.  Starting May 16th, the limit doubles to two fish per angler, one extra for the crew and they only need to be 19-inches and longer.  These resident fish school up and the action has been excellent during the  last 2 weeks of May in recent years.

We run 2 trips a day, seven days a week.  5:30 a.m. departure and 12:30 or 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon.  We can take a max of 6 customers.

Let’s go catchin’!
