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!

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.

If you want some of these stripers, you better get down here to Hoopers Island! Visit http://www.sawyercharters.com/ or call (410) 397-3743 to reserve your Chesapeake Bay fishing adventure!

The Maryland Striper Fishing action is still hot and heavy, as we took another group out on the Chesapeake Bay this afternoon, and had our legal limit of Chesapeake Bay striped bass! We're still catching the rockfish with live bait. On our first drift, we caught 11 stripers. Then, we pulled the anchor and went up the Bay a bit, found another pile, threw some spot into the water, and caught a few more. Over the next couple of hours, we chipped away until we had our limit of 21 Maryland rockfish!

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.
