Stripers With Live Bait!

June 12, 2011

Live-lining is back at Sawyer Charters! This group of anglers went fishing with us yesterday on the Chesapeake Bay for Maryland rockfish, and did not go home disappointed. However, unlike in prior trips, today we were using live spot fish for bait.

It took us a while to get to where we were fishing, but once we put the lines out, it didn't take long at all for this crew to limit out on Chesapeake Bay striped bass. These were some really nice fish, ranging between 18 and 24 inches in length.

We still have plenty of availabilities for this month and beyond, if you're looking to try your hand at some of this striper fishing. Give us a call at (410) 397-3743 or visit our website at http://www.sawyercharters.com for a memorable Maryland charter fishing experience.

Chesapeake Bay Charter Fishing

June 2-4, 2011

It was a fantastic weekend of fishing on the Chesapeake Bay, highlighted by legal limits of Chesapeake Bay striped bass!

Thursday, June 2 was our first fishing charter in about two weeks, and the fish were there to welcome us back! The crew that we had with us that day had a great time as they caught their legal limit of Maryland rockfish in just a couple of hours worth of fishing.

Friday, June 3 was no different than the day before, as we had a group of ten anglers limit out in relatively short order. There were a few times during that trip, where we had several fish on at one time! These Chesapeake Bay striped bass ranged between 18 and 26 inches in length.

Saturday, June 4 was another excellent day of Chesapeake Bay fishing action, marked by legal limits on both our morning and afternoon charters. On our afternoon trip, we had three fish that were over 30 inches long, so there still are a few big fish around!

Maryland Rockfish Season

May 9-13, 2011

The trophy Chesapeake Bay striped bass season is still going strong at Sawyer Charters! The picture above shows what happened with the crew who went fishing with us on May 9. Needless to say, they had a great time.

The crew on the May 10 trip, pictured above, caught their limit of Maryland rockfish after putting in a full day. These were some really nice fish, some of which were around 40 inches in length.

May 11 was an action-packed day. After a slow start, the fish started to bite with a vengeance. They chipped away until they had their limit of Chesapeake Bay striped bass. This was a great crew.

On May 12, the group pictured above went fishing with us and enjoyed non-stop fishing action, as they caught their limit of Chesapeake Bay rockfish by around 11am. These guys have been fishing with us for a long time, and we're glad to have them.

The picture above shows what happened on Friday the 13th. Nothing bad at all happened, unless you're a rockfish, of course. The guys pictured above went fishing with us for the first time and limited out on rockfish in just a couple of hours of fishing. They had a great time and we were glad to have them.

We're still accepting bookings for June, July, and beyond for stripers, bluefish, croakers, and more! Call us at (410) 397-3743!

Chesapeake Bay Fishing

Here, we have a group of sixteen fishermen who went out with us this morning in search of a good time. As you can see from the picture above, that is what they got! We caught over two dozen Chesapeake Bay rockfish, along with about a dozen bluefish! We caught these fish trolling, and there were several times during the day where we had four or more lines down at once! A great day had by a great crew!

Still plenty of open dates for October and beyond! Give us a call at (410) 397-3743 to reserve your very own Maryland charter fishing experience!

Spanish Mackerel on the Chesapeake Bay!

July 27, 2010

Pictured above is our first Spanish mackerel for 2010! We caught this while fishing the Chesapeake Bay for bluefish. This one was a beauty at 24 inches long, and about 5pounds! This is an encouraging sign, as we hope to see more of these in the near future.
