More Chesapeake Bay Bluefish Action - October 10, 2009

Today, we left Hoopers Island with a crew of 12 people in search of some great fishing on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay! We left before the sun came up and got to our fishing hole before anyone else, and proceeded to load up on bluefish! We also caught a few Maryland rockfish to go along with it. The bluefish ranged between 1 and 3 pounds. It was enough fish for everyone, as they all left happy! Also, contrary to the weather forecasts for today, the weather was absolutely beautiful.

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!

We still have plenty of dates available between now and the end of the season in December! To reserve your spot, get on over to http://www.sawyercharters.com/!

Another Bluefish Bonanza on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay! - October 3, 2009

Today was more of the same for us, as today we caught our legal limit of bluefish on the Chesapeake Bay using live bait! We also caught several striped bass, along with some sea trout, and other species. In spite of forecasts of foul weather, it turned out to be a beautiful day with sunshine and no wind! We couldn't have asked for it to be a better day! We had our limit of bluefish within two hours. We expect this to continue for at least the next couple of weeks!

Bluefish and Stripers on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay - October 1, 2009

We left Hoopers Island at around 2:00 this afternoon with a group of eight. We got out to our spot soon after, and started catching fish right away. Within just a couple of hours, we caught about four dozen bluefish and about a half dozen of stripers! By this point, they decided they had caught enough. We're still catching these fish with light tackle and live bait. The bluefish were all between 1 and 3 pounds, and the stripers were pretty healthy, ranging between 20 and 26 inches in length.

We still have plenty of open dates for October through December to catch some of these fish. To reserve your date, visit www.sawyercharters.com or call us at (410) 397-3743!

Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report - September 18, 2009

Another great day of fishing on the Chesapeake Bay! We left Hoopers Island bright and early this morning. The weather was great, with a faint breeze from the south and a moderate ebb current. We caught a bunch of bluefish on live bait and light tackle, moved, then caught some stripers! By the time it was over, we caught our legal limit of bluefish, and just a couple short of our legal limit of rockfish!

Light Tackle Bluefish Action on the Chesapeake Bay - September 12, 2009

Today, we were back out on the Chesapeake Bay for another day of good fishing! We left Hoopers Island with a group of six at about 1:30 in the afternoon, and did some light tackle fishing for bluefish. We were using a combination of live bait and chum. Within four hours, we caught a legal limit! The bluefish were a bit on the small side, between 1 and 2 pounds, but perfect for the pan!

Bangin' Bluefish on the Chesapeake Bay - September 5, 2009

Today was a great day of fishing on the Chesapeake Bay! We left the dock at 7am. The weather was beautiful with just a faint north wind. As soon as we anchored up, we started catching one bluefish after another! We were using light tackle, spinning rods with live bait. These blues were 1-2 pounds each, not very big, but the perfect size for eating! Within three hours, we had our legal limit of them!

We still have plenty of open dates if you're interested in booking a Maryland fishing charter with us. Get on over to http://www.sawyercharters.com/ or call at (410) 397-3743!

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

What you see in the picture above is another red drum that we caught in the Chesapeake Bay while we were fishing for croakers. This one was 34 inches long! There's nothing like the sound of a squealing drag, and that's what this one did! It was a beautiful fish, such a shame we had to throw it back!

In addition to the big red drum that we caught, we also landed 125 croakers, along with a few bluefish. These guys had an awesome catch and they went home happy! You want to catch some of these fish? Get on over to www.sawyercharters.com NOW!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

Croaker Fishing on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay - June 20, 2009

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.
