Maryland Striped Bass Fishing Report

Today turned out to be another great day of fishing aboard the Sawyer. What you see in the picture above is another full legal limit of Chesapeake Bay rockfish. In spite of the end result, it was slow starting out, due in part to the weather, which featured high winds, a lot of waves, and a hard-running current, none of which are favorable for fishing. However, as the wind died down due to the current slacking up, we proceeded to pick and chip away until we had our legal limit. Once the fish get hungry, they will bite as they did today!

We had two trips today, and as you can see from the two pictures in this post, we did a pretty good job of it. The picture above is from our morning trip, where this awesome crew caught their limit of Chesapeake Bay striped bass by 8am! The fishing was great. We couldn't keep them off the hooks. We were catching them as we were pulling in our lines.

The picture below shows what transpired during our afternoon trip. More patience was required during this trip as these Maryland rockfish were a bit finicky. You could see them on the sonar, but they would not bite. However after waiting them out for a few hours, they eventually got hungry and we had several hook-ups, leading to the results shown in the picture below.

The picture above illustrates what happened during our morning trip for today. Our crew for this trip landed its legal limit of Chesapeake Bay striped bass in less than two hours of fishing. These fish ranged between 30 and 38 inches in length. The weather was excellent, despite forecasts for the worst. This helped contribute to good fishing on the bay. This was a great crew and we look forward to seeing them again.

The above picture shows what happened during our afternoon trip. The fishing was every bit as good as it was in the morning, if not better. These guys nailed their limit of Maryland rockfish in about an hour. They'll be having a fish fry tonight! This was a great crew and we're looking forward to seeing them again in the near future.

We had another great crew today, who came away with a very nice haul of rockfish from the Chesapeake Bay, as can be seen in the above picture. Once again, these were some very nice fish, ranging between 30 and 40 inches in length. After catching three or four right away, the fishing slowed down quite a bit, but picked back up after the current slacked up. These guys had a lot of fun, and we can't wait to seem them come back for next time, for fishing on the Chesapeake Bay!

It was another outstanding day of Chesapeake Bay fishing! After a couple hours of not getting a bite, the fish came alive, and within an hour or so, this crew had a very nice catch of Maryland striped bass! A couple of these fish were 40 inches long. It was a great day of fishing and we're looking forward to seeing this crew again!

As you can see from the above picture, it was another great day of exciting day of fishing on the Chesapeake Bay! This crew like the ones before it, limited out on Maryland rockfish. It was slow starting out, but once the fish got hungry, they bit with a vengeance, and this crew had their limit before long. It was a great day for everybody!

In the above picture, you will see another full limit of Chesapeake Bay striped bass, caught aboard the Sawyer. We had a great crew with us today that persevered in the face of rough sea conditions and a hard-running current to come away with a very nice catch. As has been the case over the last few days, these fish are fat and very healthy. The fishing is great right now, and we expect it to remain this way into the foreseeable future.

Here we see another group of very well-satisfied customers, who have been fishing with us on the Chesapeake Bay for a number of years. These fine folks landed their legal limit of Chesapeake Bay striped bass in a relatively short period of time, in spite of rough sea conditions that resulted from high southwest winds. The fish pictured above are very fat and healthy, ranging from 32 to 42 inches in length! These guys had a lot of fun, and we're looking forward to seeing them again.

What an awesome day of fishing action! We went out on another one of our action-packed Maryland fishing charters and our crew did not go home disappointed. As you can see, they came away with some real beauties! These Chesapeake Bay stripers range between 32 and 39 inches in length. This was a great day, marked both by great weather and great fishing. These guys caught their legal limit of rockfish within just a few hours of fishing. They all had a blast, and we look forward to seeing them again in the near future!

Chesapeake Bay Fishing

As you can see from the above picture, we kicked off our 2011 Maryland striper fishing season off with a bang! It was great to get out on the Chesapeake Bay again, especially after our opening day trip that was scheduled for the day before was canceled due to extremely foul weather that came through.

The fish in the picture range between 32 and 38 inches in length. Due to local flooding, we got off to a late start, but started catching as soon as we got our lines out. After picking up two or three, we hit a dry spell for a couple of hours until the hard-running ebb current slacked up. When the current slacked up, the fishing took off again, leading to us catching our legal limit of Chesapeake Bay striped bass! It was a great time on the bay, with great weather and a great crew!
