The Striped Bass are biting very well on the numerous structures in the area. At 1 fish per person, the limit is usually reached quickly. The Bluefish have shown up in good numbers out in the Chesapeake Bay !! Most days weather permitting we are catching both. The limit on Bluefish is 5 per person !! July 16-31 the Striped Bass are out of season, Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel are the prime targets. So for the month of July I am running a special for 4 anglers @ $550 for the 4 hour trip, morning or afternoon!! Book your trip now while the fishing is hot ?!!!!
