Catching Rockfish on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay - November 28, 2009

We left Hoopers Island today at around 6am in search of some more trophy Maryland striped bass on the Chesapeake Bay. The fishing was really slow starting out, with unpleasant sea conditions, produced by a heavy northwest wind. However, as the wind moderated and the current began to slack up, the fish began to bite. We picked at them, one at a time, and had a couple get away. By the time it was over with, we had put in a full day and came in just one fish short of our legal limit. These stripers ranged between 32 and 42 inches in length! No picture today as it was too dark by the time we got in.

Chesapeake Bay Striped Bass Rockfish Bonanza! - November 25, 2009

Here, we have another group of happy customers that went out with us on the Chesapeake Bay for some BIG Maryland stripers! We left Hoopers Island at around 6am and put our lines out shortly after. We picked up a couple of the smaller rockfish right away. They were around 22 inches in length. We went out into the deep water and picked up some more striped bass of the smaller variety. After a lull in the action, we landed three at a time! Two of them were BIG Chesapeake Bay rockfish of over 40 inches in length! The other one was about 24 inches. Later on, we picked up another big striper. We had our limit of Chesapeake Bay Maryland rockfish before noon! Not all of the fish are shown in the picture above. The youngster in the center would rather admire the BIG fish next to him than hold up his own!

Maryland Striper Fishing Report - November 21, 2009

Today was another great day of Maryland striper fishing on the Chesapeake Bay! The weather was beautiful with sunshine, and a faint northwest wind through most of the day, producing calm sea conditions. We caught three fish within the first couple of hours, and then things slowed down quite a bit, as the current took off, and boat traffic increased due to a fishing tournament being held this weekend. However, we persevered and ended up once again catching our limit of these BIG Chesapeake Bay rockfish! The striped bass being shown in the picture above measured between 27 and 42 inches in length! As you can see, these guys had a great time, and we hope to see them again soon!

Striper Fishing on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay - November 1, 2009

After another long, weather-induced absence, we were back out on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay for another exciting day of Maryland striped bass fishing action! We left the dock with a small group at around 6:30 this morning in search of some of those Maryland rockfish. The weather was not very cooperative with a 20-knot wind out of the north, rain, and cold temperatures. The fishing was not hot right away either. After going for several hours with just a couple of bites, even though the fish could be seen on the sonar, and birds were flying everywhere, we decided to pull up our lines and make a move. Sure enough, we found huge piles of birds, and they were on the fish! Within about one hour, we had our limit of Chesapeake Bay stripers! We were trolling the whole day with four lines, and once those rockfish decided to bite, it was all you wanted! The stripers seen in the above picture range between 18 and 26 inches in length!

We expect the Maryland striper fishing to remain good through this month and into next month! To reserve your date, get on over to http://www.sawyercharters.com/!

Striped Bass and Bluefish on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay - October 8, 2009

Today was another great day for us, fishing on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay! We got off to a bumpy start, with strong northwest winds producing 3-foot swells, and an ebb current that just would not quit. The fishing was slow at first, as we had to move a couple of times in search of those elusive rockfish. However, once the wind died down and the current slacked up, the stripers came alive! Once this happened, it didn't take long to catch our limit of rockfish! By noon, we had our limit of Maryland striped bass, along with a limit of bluefish! We're still using live spot to catch our fish, and we expect the Chesapeake Bay striper fishing to only get better in the foreseeable future!

Maryland Rockfish, Stripers from the Eastern Shore! - September 25, 2009

Look at what we caught today! We left Hoopers Island at around noon today in search of some striped bass on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay. At first, we had a strong northeast wind to contend with, making the boat cut and shear. However, after making a move, along with the wind falling out, we started catching these beautiful rockfish. These guys had their legal limit of Maryland rockfish within an hour of when they caught the first one! The one in the middle was 33 inches long, one of the longest we caught all summer!

Chesapeake Bay Croaker Fishing - August 29, 2009

After a very long absence, once again, mostly weather-related, we were back out on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay doing what we do best, catching fish. As has been the case for the past few weeks, we were out in search of croakers, bottom-fishing. Our group of six left Hoopers Island a little after six in the evening. We anchored up in our normal fishing spot, and when the sun hit the trees, the fishing took off. They started biting at around 8:30, and two hours later, we had landed 140 croakers, just short of our legal limit! We also caught about a dozen bluefish. The croakers are still good size, ranging between 13 and 18 inches in length.

Maryland Fishing Report - August 15, 2009

Atlantic Croakers on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay - August 8, 2009

We left the dock at around 6:00 this evening, in search of more croakers on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay. We anchored up in our regular spot, and waited them out. As is normally the case, the croakers didn't start biting until after dark. The sea conditions weren't very good, with about a 25-knot wind out of the south, and a hard-running ebb current, causing the boat to cut and shear, making it hard to stay on the fish. However, in spite of that, we still came away with about 80 croakers, which was pretty good for the number of fishermen that we had with us.

More Croaker Action on the Chesapeake Bay - August 7, 2009

This looks just like the picture from the day before, but notice the date. Different day, same result! Another cooler full of croakers caught on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay! These croakers started biting around 8:30 tonight, and by 10, the cooler was full. They had 120 croakers in all, along with about 15 bluefish. The crew went home happy, and we look forward to seeing them again.

Fishing for Croakers on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay - August 6, 2009

That right there is another 160-qt. cooler filled to the top with croakers caught while bottom fishing on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay! We left Hoopers Island this evening with a group of seven people at around 7 in the evening. We returned at about 10:30 with a full cooler! These croakers were as fast as you could pull them! They ranged between 13 and 18 inches in length! We ended up with over 160 of them for the evening. The fishing was slow starting out, but as soon as the sun went down, the fishing took off!

Maryland Fishing Report - August 4, 2009

A group of seven left Hoopers Island with us at around 3 in the afternoon for some Maryland fishing action on the Chesapeake Bay. We first went after bluefish. The weather didn't cooperate as well as we would have liked, with south winds producing 3 and 4 ft. swells, along with a hard-running flood current, which when combined with the wind, usually is not conducive to good fishing. In spite of the challenging sea conditions, we still managed to catch a fair amount of bluefish. We then anchored up at sundown for some croaker fishing. Unlike the bluefish, the croakers came on strong, and within an hour, we caught about 80 of them! Not only did they catch a bunch of croakers, but look at what else they caught!


That is a red drum! The fellow you see on the right caught this on a spinning reel while fishing for croakers! It gave him a heck of a fight! This red drum was over 30 inches in length! We don't catch that many of those around here, but when we do, it is a sure treat! We still have plenty of dates available. Check out http://www.sawyercharters.com/ to reserve your Maryland fishing experience!

Chesapeake Bay Croaker Fishing - August 3, 2009

This evening, we left Hoopers Island at around 7pm for some evening croaker fishing out on the Chesapeake Bay. By 10pm, six people had filled a 160-quart cooler with the biggest croakers we've seen all season! Some of these croakers were 19 inches long! The smallest one we kept was 14 inches! It was slow starting out, but as soon as the sun went down, the fishing took off. We were still pulling them in while we were getting the anchor up! We still expect these croakers to be around for a while, so if you're interested in catching some of these, get on over to www.sawyercharters.com!

Bluefish and Croaker Fishing on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay - August 1, 2009

After a long absence, mostly weather-related, we were back out on the Chesapeake Bay, fishing for bluefish and croakers. For the first time in a while, the weather was decent, with a light wind out of the south. The bluefish were as fast you could pull them. We caught our legal limit of those, and then we anchored up at sundown, and caught about 100 croakers, bottom fishing. The croakers were the best we've seen all season, ranging between 12 and 18 inches in length!

We expect the blues to be around through the fall, and the croakers to hang around for another 2-3 weeks, so if you want to catch some of these fish on the Chesapeake Bay, get on over to www.sawyercharters.com!

Rockfish on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay - July 24, 2009

Today, the group pictured above left Hoopers Island at about 1:00 in the afternoon, and spent about an hour catching live bait. After that, we went striper fishing. We picked up seven or eight rockfish within the first hour, but then it dried up for a while. We went riding around, looking for them. Every time we'd stop, we'd pick two or three. As the day started to wind down, we found some stripers breaking the water. We stopped on them, and within 20 minutes, we had our legal limit of Chesapeake Bay striped bass! These Maryland rockfish ranged between 18 and 26 inches in length.

Chesapeake Bay Bluefish and Croaker Bonanza - July 22, 2009

Today, we went down Maryland's Chesapeake Bay in search of bluefish and croakers. Right away, the bluefish were wide open as we quickly pulled in about a dozen or so. Then, the current stopped running and so did the fish. We waited it out for a while, and then, they turned on again, and before long, we had almost 100 bluefish! We then anchored up for some croaker fishing and came away with about 120 of those! The bluefish were 2-3 pounds each, and the croakers were anywhere between 12 and 16 inches in length!

Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report - July 17, 2009

Today was another great day of fishing on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay for striped bass as can be seen from the above picture. This group of five left Hoopers Island at 5am, and ended up catching their legal limit of Maryland rockfish! It was very slow starting out, as there was very little in the way of current moving. However, once the current started running flood, the fishing picked up and as was the case the day before, we went from zero to legal limit in no time!

Later that afternoon, we took a large group of thirteen people out on the Chesapeake Bay for some fun, exciting, Maryland striper fishing action. It was also slow starting out, but later on, we seen piles of breaking rockfish that we chased down and threw live spot into. Over a 2-3 hour stretch, they caught their legal limit and went home happy. No picture as we did get in a bit late.

Still plenty of available dates! Go to http://www.sawyercharters.com/ or call us at (410) 397-3743!

Fishing for Striped Bass on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay - July 16, 2009

Today, this large group had a whale of a time on the Chesapeake Bay, fishing for Maryland rockfish, using live bait! In all, sixteen people caught their legal limit of Chesapeake Bay striped bass this afternoon. Some of the people in the above picture weren't paying attention because they were arguing over who had the biggest fish! It was a very interesting day, as we were stymied at first by a hard-running ebb current, which kept the spot from getting down deep to where the stripers were. However, once the tide slacked up, the fishing came on strong, and we went from zero to legal limit in about an hour! After that, we went back into the river to catch some more "volunteers" for the next trip! As can be seen from the above picture, this was a very happy group, and we hope to see them again soon.

Bluefish and Croakers on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay - June 29, 2009

No picture, but today we went down Maryland's Chesapeake Bay for some bluefish and croakers. We did pretty well trolling for the bluefish, using six lines. There were a few times where we had all six lines go down at one time! We ended up with over 40 of them in a relatively short period of time. They range between 2 and 4 pounds. We then anchored up for some croaker fishing, and within two or three hours, ended up with close to 180 croakers! The croakers ranged anywhere from 10 to 16 inches in length.

As you just read, the bluefish are starting to come on strong, and the croaker fishing on the Chesapeake Bay is wide open. We expect the bluefish to stay around through September and the croakers to stay around through the first half of August.

What in the world's in that picture above, you ask? That's a 160-quart cooler full of croakers, caught on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay! The weatherman was calling for awful weather conditions on the Chesapeake Bay, but like so often, he was wrong! It was a beautiful night. The fishing was slow starting out, catching a croaker here and there. We did some trolling for bluefish, which have started to make their way up the Chesapeake Bay. There was about 25-30 of those in the cooler too. But when that sun hit the trees, the croaker fishing took off! We caught about 150 within an hour! Our customers left very happy, and we look forward to seeing them again.

Chesapeake Bay Striped Bass Fishing Report - May 12-13, 2009

Today was another good day for us on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay. We had to wait them out a bit, but we still caught our limit of Maryland rockfish!

Yesterday was another great day of fishing for Maryland Striped Bass on the Chesapeake Bay! This group of six, pictured below, caught their limit of Chesapeake Bay rockfish before 9am.
