Spring Chesapeake Fishing

/in /by

The official 2023 Season Dates have been released: May 1st through May 15th will be trophy striped bass season. (1 fish per angler, 35″+). This is your best chance for that jumbo, fish of a lieftime. It’s not for everyone though as these fish are migratory, solitary and do not school up. Some days, you don’t capture one. May 16th through December 10th (with a 2 week break in July) is the regular striper season—2 fish per charter customer 19″+. The last two weeks of May and June are typically great fishing with lots of action and limits every day.
We can take a max of 6. Fishing out of Atlantic Marina on the Magothy in Pasadena, MD. Dogs are always welcome on The Last Hurrah. Mornings—5:30-11:30; afternoons—12:00–6:00. Weekdays are far better than weekends due to crowds.

Book your trip today!

Open May Trips

/in /by

There are 7 days in the week, and we fish all of them!  The weekends are by far, the toughest fishing due to massive crowds.   It’s well worth taking a weekday off from work to go Monday through Thursday.  We fish two trips every day:  5:30 a.m. to 11:30 and 12-Noon to 6:00 p.m.  All licenses, rods, tackle and fish-cleaning are provided.  We’ll run out of HHN Marina in Tracy’s Landing for May, and then from Atlantic Marina on the Magothy for the summer months in order to stay on the fish.  We are family and dog friendly!

Here is what we have left open for May:

Morning Trips:  17,  31

Afternoon Trips:  3, 8, 9, 11, 17, 18, 19, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 31

Revised Open Dates Until Dec. 10th

/in /by

The MD Season goes until December 10th and this “last hurrah” can be the best fishing of the year!

Booking The Last Few May Dates

/in /by

The Season Starts May 1st this year.   Trophy Rockfish Season runs until May 15th, and then the regular Rockfish Season runs from May 16th —Dec. 10th.  We fish twice a day, seven days a week, but I strongly recommend going mid-week.  Weekends are a crowded circus out there which spooks fish and makes catching tougher.   Ironically, I have several Tuesdays open which are prime!  We will be departing from Herrington Harbour North in Tracy’s Landing all of May.  We can take a max of 6 customers, but less is fine too.  We provide all licenses, rods, reels, tackle and fish-fileting.

Less than 2 Months of Season Left—Book Now!

/in /by

Fishing is getting better by the day and we have have open trips starting as early as this weekend!  The season runs for another month and a half, and next year’s season-length will likely be cut substantially.  Book your Fall fishing trip on the Chesapeake Bay now while you can!  We will run everyday possible until the December 15th closure.  The boat is enclosed and heated.  This last stretch is my favorite time to fish.  Let’s book ’em up!

Book Your Light-Tackle, Live-Lining Trip Before the Bait Leaves!!

/in /by

Fishing remains excellent with the afternoon bite being better than the mornings lately.  The live bait will likely be exited the Bay within the next few weeks, so don’t procrastinate on booking your live-lining trip.  Catching Rockfish limits on light, spinning rods is a blast!  Weekdays are always better because the crowds are smaller.  We are still fishing out of our Annapolis marina slip, but we will be moving back down to Tracy’s Landing (Deale) soon.  Book your trip today!

Summer Rockfish Bite is On!

/in /by

Trolling for Rockfish (striped bass) is good right now.  We’ve caught limits on almost every trip since 5/16.  Volatile weather has given the fish lockjaw a few times but when they do bite, it is game-on!  It’s not uncommon to hook 8 or 10 at once.  Weekends are the worst as huge, ignorant crowds make the fishing much tougher. We have prime June and July weekdays available.  Email or call us today to book your summertime fishing trip on the Chesapeake Bay!

Here are some pics from this past week:

Rocks in da’ Box

/in /by

Fishing has been action-packed with lots of throwbacks caught and released in order to box keeper-limits.   We are averaging 30 to 75 bites a trip!  The limit is now 2 rockfish per angler at 19 inches and up.  We have some prime-time June weekdays available .

 

Phenomenal Light Tackle Fishing

/in /by

We are enjoying some incredible, light-tackle fishing right now out of Annapolis.  The boat is currently docked in Back Creek.  Rockfish limits are coming fast and furious with a nice grade of  fish.  Enormous (and extremely ignorant) crowds try hard to ruin fishing on weekends, so weekdays are always recommended.
We have some prime July dates open.  Mornings depart at 5:30 and afternoons at noon or 1:00.
