Chesapeake Bay Striped Bass Fishing - September 2012

2012 Chesapeake Bay Trophy Striped Bass Season
April 23-28, 2012
This week featured a lot of fishing and great fun aboard the Sawyer during the 2012 spring trophy striped bass season. The picture above shows what happened on Monday, as our crew was quick to land their legal limit of Chesapeake Bay striped bass. In spite of forecasts over the weekend calling for foul weather that almost led to us losing the charter for the day, the weather turned out to be just fine with relatively calm seas. Within about three hours, this group of nine landed their legal limit of Chesapeake Bay rockfish.
Above, you see what happened on our Tuesday charter, as this gang of six anglers also limited out in short order. In fact, these guys reached their quota on trophy Maryland stripers before we could even get all of our lines out. They were so happy with their trip that they have already booked one for next year.
The picture above shows three generations of fishermen who fished with us on Wednesday morning. They also quickly landed their limit while trolling. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, which is quite normal for these guys who have been fishing with us for many, many years now.
Above, you can see the results of our Wednesday afternoon charter. These guys have also been fishing with us for well over a decade. They were rewarded today with beautiful weather and a very nice catch of Chesapeake Bay stripers. These rockfish were mostly in the mid to upper 30s in length, with a couple of them over 40 inches. They have also reserved their spots for next spring.
On Thursday, it was more of the same, as the crew pictured above landed their legal limit by 8:30am, the fastest they have ever done so in the many years that they have fished with us. These were also some very nice fish, with some of them carrying sea lice, which may indicate an extended spring season similar to that of last year.
Above, you can see what happened on our Thursday afternoon charter. These guys were the same fellows who fished with us on the previous day, and again, they went home with a nice catch. We can't wait to see these guys again next year!
After being stymied on Friday by foul weather, we were back at it on Saturday, with exceptional results once again. This crew of six anglers were quick to land their legal quota of Maryland rockfish. These fish also had some pretty good size. They have already reserved two dates with us for next spring!
This was a great week of Chesapeake Bay charter fishing action! Stay tuned to this blog or http://www.sawyercharters.com for more updates and information.

Chesapeake Bay Striped Bass Fishing
July 22-26, 2011
The last several days featured more of the same Chesapeake Bay fishing action aboard the Sawyer, action that culminates in a full legal limit of Maryland rockfish.
We are still catching these stripers using live spot fish for bait, in a process that is more popularly known as live-lining. This can be the most challenging, yet most exciting way of fishing for striped bass.
These fish generally range anywhere from 18 to 28 inches, with some of them more than 30 inches in length, making for great action on a spinning reel!
We expect this fishing to remain good in the days to come. If you would like to reserve a date, give us a call at (410) 397-3743.

Chesapeake Bay Fishing Charters
July 5-9, 2011
The fishing for Chesapeake Bay striped bass right now is white hot! Over the last few days, we've been catching our legal limit of Maryland rockfish everyday in less than an hour.
We've been catching our fish with live spot fish for bait, a technique that is more popularly known as live-lining. If you put that spot on a treble hook and toss it out, the stripers just can't resist it. The fish are all of a very healthy grade, ranging between 20 and 32 inches in length.
We have plenty of available dates for Chesapeake Bay fishing charters, if you would like to try your hand at this type of fishing. We expect this fishing to remain very good for the foreseeable future. Give us a call at (410) 397-3743 or visit our website at http://www.sawyercharters.com!

Chesapeake Bay Charter Fishing
July 1, 2011
Today was another fabulous day of fishing on the Chesapeake Bay. The guys in the above picture have been out with us on Chesapeake Bay fishing charters for years, and they always seem to do really well. Today was no exception. These guys caught their fish today by using live spot for bait, a technique that is also known as live-lining. After spending a couple of hours fishing for bait, we went on out to where we've been catching our fish, and the stripers were waiting for us. Within an hour of dropping the anchor, these guys caught their legal limit of Maryland Chesapeake Bay rockfish!
By looking closely at the above picture, it may appear that they came up short of their limit, but some of them only wanted to hold up one fish. Oh, well.

Maryland Chesapeake Bay Fishing
June 24-27, 2011
We've seen some more great Chesapeake Bay fishing over the past few days. On Friday the 24th, we had a group of seven limit out on Chesapeake Bay stripers. It wasn't easy, as they had to catch their bait, but once they started fishing for the stripers, they started picking them up, one after the other. However, the fishing really dried up before they could finish their limit, so we had to pull our anchor and look around. Not long after that, we found birds working over numerous piles of breaking fish. Sure enough, those breaking fish were Maryland rockfish. We put over our trolling lines and started catching right away. Our crew was catching fish as fast as they could pull them. They had their limit in no time.
On Saturday, we headed down the bay to do some croaker fishing. The crew that we had with us managed to catch their legal limit of croakers. It was slow starting out, but once the sun went down, the fish started to bite like crazy. This is typical when croaker fishing. There were numerous occasions throughout the evening where everybody had a fish on at the same time.
This past Monday, the 27th, we were back to striper fishing with a great crew that came to see us for the first time. Hopefully, it won't be their last. They went fishing with us early in the morning. It took us a while to get the stripers to come to us, but once they did, we started picking away at them. Just before we finished out our legal limit of Chesapeake Bay striped bass, the fishing cut off due to a hard-running current. We pulled up our lines and went perch fishing for a while. Then, we went back to looking for the stripers, and they were ready for us. They would have eaten the bottom off of the boat if they could have. The crew pictured above caught their legal limit in very short order. It was a great time for everybody.

Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report
June 17-18, 2011
It was another fantastic weekend of Chesapeake Bay fishing aboard the Sawyer! The two crews pictured below both caught their legal limits of Chesapeake Bay striped bass, on a weekend where you couldn't have asked the weather to be any better.
The crew pictured above caught their legal limit of stripers with live bait. After they caught their bait, they went hunting for rockfish. They dropped their lines upon seeing a few on the meter. The fish started to bite right away and the action was non-stop until they caught their limit. Toward the end, you couldn't keep the fish off!
The next day, the crew pictured above also caught their limit of Maryland rockfish, but they really had to work for it. When we got out into the Bay, there was no current, and the fish wouldn't bite. While we waited things out, we did some perch fishing, and then we started to head down the Bay. As we were working our way down, we started seeing rockfish breaking the surface all over the place. Upon seeing this, we broke out our trolling gear and started putting out lines. Within an hour, we went from zero to a full limit of stripers. When the fish bite, the action is just non-stop!
We still have plenty of availabilities this summer if you want to reserve your very own Maryland charter fishing experience. Give us a call at (410) 397-3743 or visit our website at http://www.sawyercharters.com!

Chesapeake Bay Charter Fishing
May 5-8, 2011
From the pictures in this post, you can see that our Chesapeake Bay rockfish season is still going strong.
Over the past several days, our Maryland fishing charters have been marked by action-packed starts, followed by lulls, after which the fish bite again, usually leading to a full legal limit for our crew.
The fishing is still going well and hats off to our crews for the past week for their patronage, as well as patience, as that has proven to be a virtue. Still accepting bookings for the summer. Check out our website at www.sawyercharters.com for more information!

From looking at the three pictures in this post, you can see that we have had some success over the last three days when it comes to catching those highly-prized Chesapeake Bay rockfish.
