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!

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.

These three crews all caught their legal limits of Maryland striped bass. These are all very nice fish, ranging between 32 and 42 inches in length.

The fishing has been really good since the season started on April 16 and we expect it to remain good for the foreseeable future. We're still accepting bookings for the upcoming summer months, so if you're looking to do some light tackle or bottom fishing, give us a call at (410) 397-3743!

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!
