76 Rockfish Limits in 78 Charter Trips—Now Using Light Tackle!

/in /by

Live-bait fishing with light tackle is off the chain right now.  We’ve been catching Striped Bass (Rockfish) quick, fast and in a hurry each trip from the second that the anchor is dropped until the limit is in the box.  We’ve now boxed 76 Rockfish limits on our last 78 trips.  Bottom-Fishing is good to excellent lately with all sizes of White Perch and Spot available.

August 21st through 25th is available for charter.  We offer 2 trips a day, seven days a week.   Contact us today to reserve your trip.

Stellar Summer Fishing on the Chesapeake

Last Hurrah Charters has boxed Rockfish limits on 40 of its last 42 trips!  (The two on which we didn’t were short trips that handicapped us).  The Rockfish (a.k.a. Striped Bass) are larger than average for this time of year and when they bite, the action is fast and furious.   Hooking up 5 to 12 fish at one time is not uncommon.  Bottom-Fishing for White Perch and Norfolk Spot has become very good also.  With water temps on the rise, Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel won’t be far behind.

The Last Hurrah is currently on Back Creek at 7364 Edgewood Road, Annapolis, MD  21403.  She will be spending all of July there and possibly August.  This is putting us much closer to the best fishing.  We still have some July and August dates available for charter.

Here are a few recent pics….

Chasing Down Chesapeake Rockfish

Despite some windy, rough weather, long boat-rides and a few bouts of lockjaw, fishing was very good most of last week.  Last Hurrah Charters has now caught 33 limits on its last 35 charter trips.   Some days are easier than others.  Fish don’t feed all day long and tides, currents, and other factors dictate bite-windows.   The grade of fish is excellent some days and the White Perch and Spot fishing have turned on big-time.  Here are some pics….

 

Weekly Report: Opening Week 2010

/in /by

We started off the season with Adam Funk and a great group of guys.  The seas were a little sloppy but the bite was hot.  Despite the bumpy weather, we  caught early limits during opening weekend.  The Hurrah fished every day the rest of the week and the fishing was good for the most part with some days being better than others.  I’ve attached a few photos from the week.
