August Fishing Dates

There’s a 2-week Striped Bass Season Closure, but it’s back to business starting: August 1st. Last Hurrah Charters has prime dates open for August Striper fishing. Monday through Thursday is the way to go since weekend crowds are at their all-time worst and they have zero respect or common courtesy for anyone.
We can take a max of six customers; less is fine. Dogs are always welcome on board!

May Dates Still Open. New Summertime Marina!

The season starts May 1.  The first 15 days is Trophy Rockfish Season and the best chance for that jumbo fish of a lifetime.  If more action is the goal, resident Rockfish season runs May 16 –Dec. 10th.  We’ll be at our usual, beautiful Herrington Harbour North Marina in Tracy’s Landing/Deale for all of May and the Fall.  From June through August, the Hurrah is going home!  We are happy to announce our new summertime marina is:  Atlantic Marina on the Magothy, (The Last Hurrah’s original dry-dock marina).  For the last five summers, we have moved the boat north to Annapolis to stay on the fish.  Last year, even that wasn’t far enough.  This new marina is only a few minutes longer by road from the south but will save considerable time on the water.  Plus, it is an excellent facility and a major upgrade over past summer dockages.

Fishing is heating up!  Let’s go catching!

Fall Pattern is ON!

A little cold front has unleashed the fish and it’s been game-on out there the last few days.  From now until December 10th is the best time of the year to go fishing.  Ironically, the calendar is way too open!  Fish are schooling up and biting like crazy.  This is the time of year when hooking 10 to 20 fish simultaneously is fairly commonplace.  We can take a max of 6 customers, but less is fine.  One group hires boat for private charter.  Let’s go catching!  (Boat is enclosed, heated and comfortable).

Here are open dates:
November: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27.
December:  3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

2 Months of Season Left—Time for one, LAST HURRAH!

The weather is perfect and the fishing is heating up nicely.  The Rockfish bite should only get bet better as we transition into the Fall pattern.  We catch Rockfish (a.k.a. striped bass)  consistently all the way until the season ends on:  December 10th.  Don’t sweat the weather—it doesn’t even get really cold anymore, and the boat is enclosed and heated.  There are even a few Red Drum still around, but they won’t stay long.  Book your Fall fishing trip on the Chesapeake Bay now!!

Fall Fishing on The Chesapeake

We are well into October and it’s time to book up the dates from now until the season closes on December 15th.   Yesterday, we targeted Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish and caught 30 Blues and 20 Macs!  The Macs are definitely on the way out of the Bay, but the Blues should be around for a bit longer.  There are a lot of undersized Rockfish schooling up, but the Fall pattern with plentiful, fat “football” fish should bust loose soon.  There are still plenty of Spot fish around for live-bait fishing.  (Just my mate and I caught 225 the other day in 1 hour.)  For those of you that are soft:  NO, it’s not “too cold” out there in November and December!   The boat is fully enclosed and heated and it doesn’t even get that cold anymore around here.  The last few months are prime-time and can provide some of the best fishing of the year.  Get your Fall trip on the Chesapeake booked now!
