Monster Migrators!

We have entered into the winter bird show season! Just before Thanksgiving we started to see the first of the working bird activity in our local waters. This was a welcome sight, from now until the end of winter we will have incredible Striped Bass fishing on light tackle. There is nothing like experiencing hundreds of gannets, gulls and pelicans crashing on balls of bait being pushed up by large schools of hungry aggressive 20"-40" Striped Bass. If you are looking to scratch that fishing itch one more time this winter do not hesitate to get your trip booked, the bite is on!

The cold water bite has arrived and we are taking full advantage of the feisty striped bass migrating into our area. We are seeing large schools of healthy fish move into the area making for great light tackle and fly fishing action. If you have never experienced light tackle fishing for fall striped bass now is the time to get your trip booked! We have also been encountering large numbers of black sea bass and a few trout and red drum mixed in with the striped bass.

October is here and with it brings cooler water temperatures that really fires up the Stiped Bass bite. Most of our warm water summer fish will make their way south for the winter, Cobia, Red Drum, Speckled Trout, Spanish Mackerel and bluefish will be gone by mid-end October. Now we begin those fall patterns for Stiped Bass that you may have heard so much about! As water cools and bait pushes out of the creeks and tributaries, the Striped Bass follow and school up at river mouths, creek mouths, and ledges feeding heavily to stock up for winter. Our home port location turns into ground zero for the fall run as the fish push down the Bay. This time of year it is not uncommon to find large "bird shows" showing the way to large numbers of fish aggressively feeding, willing to take artificial lures and fly's. This is a great time of year for seasoned or new anglers to get out on the water and experience the best striped bass fishing that the Chesapeake Bay offers.
