This is the best time to catch the fish by light tackle jigging.   November / December rockfish feed constantly, fattening for winter. This makes catching fast and furious. Get ready for some fantastic fishing.
Late November / December Trophy Stripers return to the Bay. The last several years more fish from 20 to 50+  pounds were caught than in previous times.    You will need not have to wait until April to catch your Trophy Striped Bass! Reserve  a date NOW!  Contact Us!

NO BANANAS - It may be an old wives tale, but it's a fact that Bananas are Bad Luck on a fishing charter boat.

History tells us that this tale originated from early years when boats with Bananas in the cargo, ran aground, got lost at sea, or lost many of their crew members to a deadly sickness. Further investigation indicated that the bananas were also prone carry to the deadly tarantula spiders.

Today, I believe that bananas are safe, but just to make sure that we have great day on the bay, let's leave the bananas home.

Thanks Capt. Ed

Ready for a Great Day on the Chesapeake Bay?
