Fresh Stevensville Fishing Reports

Mike scheduled his annual fishing trip with us for in the am. Even tho everyone got up real early they wasted no time getting to work. With in site of the launch location we filled the live well with spot and perch. As always the kids had the upper hand catching. After gathering enough bait, off to the fishing grounds we went. We even got a show from a couple small pods of dolphins on the way. They just pop up here and there. You can never pin point them as they move long distances some times each day. Sometimes you see a few sometimes many many more. We got to where we left them biting the night before only to find a slack tide. Striped bass like moving water or they are hard to entice a bite from. We moved around and found 1 hungry one. The current was just starting to move slightly so we moved to where I suspected we had our best chance at. Well I guessed right. We picked at them till time to go. They ended the day with 6 nice keepers. Live lining is no guarantee but it is a lot of fun. There is a slight learning curve to it as you will miss bites or have fish get off the hook. But once you get the hang of it if they are biting boy oh boy hang on to that rod! June is almost half over wow. We still have dates available for June and July book now before it’s too late. Striped bass season closes July 16. By then we should see some bluefish or Spanish mackerel around and we will concentrate on them. We also will be bottom fishing. For spot and white perch and possible catfish. There’s a lot going on in the Chesapeake Bay. Book a trip with us to get in on some of the action.

Summer fishing is heating up. Kayla had a pm trip scheduled for Saturday and boy did she pick the right time. We made quick work of catching some spot for bait. Then we ran to the fishing grounds. It didn’t take long for her to get a bite. She quickly learned the live lining technique and got her 2 fish quick.

Striped bass limits and migrating white perch. Fall trolling trips have been superb. Mixed size striped bass up to 36in have been keepung the patrons busy. Full trips top off the trip with white perch fishing. I cant imagine it could get any better. Lets make a memory Capt Dee

On this evening we enjoyed another wonderful trip with another great Crew! The fish were biting and our Crew was ready to reel! Calm seas and great weather helped us reach our limit. Our young anglers even got to see the Chesapeake Bay Bridge up close! We believe that the month of July & August will be great for trolling and light tackle. Book your next trip to get in on the action aboard Maryland's premier charter boat The Marylander!!!

Saturday AM I saw a returning customer, Mike with his family, It was his wife’s birthday and she wanted to fish. Well we started out filling the live well with small spot and perch for bait. Then checked our local fish reef but the current was too slack. Ok no problem worked our way south and found good current. Put the lines out and a few minutes later fish on! Well Kelsey AKA birthday girl got a nice 24 inch rock. Then fish on again and Mike got a 20 incher. Well guess what Dawson was not gonna be left out so you guessed it. In comes a nice 24 1/4 inch catfish to finish out the trip. PM trip was Sandra and her friends for an afternoon of good times. We found the spot and perch right where I left them earlier. Everyone was catching and having a lot of laughs. We checked for rock fish around some structure but there were none to be found. So we continued bottom fishing and BJ got a nice 12 inch white perch. Which she said she was gonna cook for her Grandma. I hope she enjoyed it. Sunday I met Nikki and her family for an AM trip. We checked around for the rock but they were none to found yet. So off we go to gather bait and have some fun with other species. We got some spot in the live well for bait and caught a ton of perch. They didn’t want any to keep so they all went back. So the current was looking good so we went to check for Rockfish again. Finally after the fourth stop I was bringing the line in and I felt the tell tale sign. So back over it went and I handed the rod off to Nikki. Sure enough bam! Fish on she landed a nice 24 inch Rock. Ok pull back over and put 2 rods out. It was quite rough so 2 at time taking turns is the best way. Sure enough William gets a hit. Got a nice one boat side for a release. Then Junior gets hit. His was released also. Reset lines and had a couple more takers before time ran out. It was great times with lots of memories made by families and friends enjoying the water. I heard someone say this weekend (Boy it’s beautiful out here and you can’t get a breeze like this on land.)She is right!
