August is half over!
August is half over!

Wow Summer is flying by! Fishing is good folks. There's some blues and Spanish Mackerel around. We had a couple small flounder. Plenty of spot and some hard heads that are getting close to being legal size. We had a first on the boat this weekend. A Cutlass fish. Wow what a surprise that was. Mean looking creature for sure. I have heard of a few Black Sea bass caught but we haven't had any yet. Don't miss out book a trip today.

Alyssa scheduled a half day trip in the am. This was their first time on the Chesapeake Bay. With Rockfish season closed for a few more days the plan was to find some bluefish. We trolled in a couple different areas looking to find them. Once we did it was game on. They kept some for the dinner table and then we switched over to casting jigs. We continued to catch and release moving with the schools of fish. A good time was had by all. Things are really heating up. Spanish mackerel are on their way, I expect to see them any day now. Rockfish season reopens on Aug.1. There is a lot of opportunities for different species right now. Book a trip and message us so we can tailor a trip to your needs. Half day am and pm trips are available. We also do full day trips.

Birthday trip.
Birthday trip.
Jun 30, 2023 Stevensville
Michael and Michelle were in town to celebrate their birthday and booked a trip with us. They drove from about 2 1/2 hrs North and stayed in town for the weekend to do some fishing. We started out catching some spot for bait. After putting 13 spot in the live well we head to the Stripers grounds. Well boy were they chewing that morning. They had their 2 fish each in about 30 minutes. Wow. Well we are not the charter that drops you off early if you get your fish. With it being so hot itโ€™s not good to catch and release Stripers they donโ€™t do well in the high heat temps. So we bottomed fished different spots on the way back and caught perch, spot and some croakers. Book your trip before itโ€™s too late.

Decided to go crabbing today. Didn't do bad but it was slow so I let my lines soak some between runs. So I fished some shore line structure and sure enough caught some rockfish. Later in the morning while scouting thru the binoculars I saw some dolphins. Well wouldn't you know it, sure enough, they came right by me! I even saw them on the fish finder as they went right under me. Never know what you'll see out there. But I know this you can't see it from the couch. Book a trip today. Get in on the action. I'll be back on the fishing grounds tomorrow so shoot me a message and I will respond when I get home. Until then tight lines!

Well we started the day with heavy cloud cover and a light drizzle once in a while but then the sun came out in force. Mike booked a trip for him and 3 buddies. What a great time. We made quick work of catching bait then off to the Rockfish spot. Action was pretty consist from the get go. Mike got the first one. A real nice Striped bass. Once everyone got the hang of fishing with live bait and circle hooks it was non stop action. The got their limit of Rockfish to take home to make some nice meals out of. The action is heating up folks book you trip today. Striped bass(rockfish) season closes on July15 . We have a few dates left before then. Come July 16 we will be fishing for Spanish mackerel, bluefish and speckled trout. Donโ€™t wait summer is going by fast.
