2019 Maryland Striped Bass Season is Right Around the Corner

/in /by

The 2019 Maryland Striped Bass (Rockfish) Season begins on Saturday, April 20th.  These first few weeks comprise our “Trophy Season” where the large, migratory Stripers are in the Chesapeake for their annual spawning ritual.  This is BIG FISH time where the Rockfish average 15 to 45 pounds!  Each customer is allowed one fish that measures 35 inches or greater.  We are excited to get back out on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay and chase these trophy fish.
We run 2 trips a day, 7 days a week.  Mornings depart early–5:15 / 5:30 a.m. and afternoons at 12:30.  Weekends get very crowded out there and boats spook fish, so we highly recommend booking a weekday if at all possible.  We  provide all licenses, rods, reels, lures, tackle, and fishing equipment.   It’s a short window for the jumbos and trips are booking up quickly so don’t procrastinate in securing your Spring date.

/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.

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: 8/5-8/11

The light-tackle Rockfishing continues to be excellent.  Some days are a little better than others depending on how many boats are spooking the fish.  We have been fortunate to box Rockfish limits on 24 consecutive trips and are hoping to keep the streak alive as long as possible!  Bluefish are popping up here and there.  Some jumbo White Perch and Spot are still being caught as well.  Our schedule is starting to open up a bit so call to book a trip!

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.
