Summer fishing

Rockfish season is back open. There are definitely some around to be caught. Took a little while to figure out where they were since we hadn’t been able to target them in 2 weeks. Still some nice big spot around also. North East wind made for a slow bite but it still was good fishing nonetheless. Blue fish are still showing up but not in great numbers. It looks like a dry spell for a while so hopefully the salinity will come up some more and they will pile in. Catfish are still hungry to Bill even caught one with a paddle tail lure. Them blue cats are pretty aggressive and good eating. We still have a couple of dates available in August. Book a trip for them kids before school starts!

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.

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 it’s not good to catch and release Stripers they don’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 it’s too late.
