The Bay Quest has been hauled to get ready for the new season. Trophy Rockfish season starts on May 1st.

Catching a few nice spot and plenty of small taylor blues.

Last night we had 15 keeper Rockfish and today we had 18.  We had been catching lots of fish but so many were not the 20″ that’s now required. Thankfully, we finally have the bigger rockfish & we even caught our first bluefish this week.  We also had fun bottom fishing after fishing for rockfish & are catching perch & croakers.  I have a good selection of morning & evening trips available for charter so contact me if you want to get in on the action.

Still catching bluefish trolling & chumming & some bottom fish–Spot with a few Grey Trout mixed in.  The Bay Quest served as a floating classroom for the Chesapeake Bay Governor’s School and St. Margaret’s School also which I always enjoy.

Still catching nice taylor Blues and with an occasional keeper Striped Bass mixed in.

It’s hard to believe that the summer is almost over.  These kids got in a good day of fishing before having to think about homework. Fishing will continue to be excellent into the fall & late October the Rockfish(Stripers) will be back. I love fall fishing!

The Spanish Mackerel came on hot and heavy mid week with 25 one day.  We also have been catching our  limits on bluefish. On Saturday our son & daughter-in-law & friends, chartered the boat and they wanted the big Red Drum hook & release action rather than going after the food fish. They caught 19 Red Drum, a Cobia, and still had a nice catch of Bluefish.  The guys also caught a lot of static from the girls with their “redneck T-shirts”.  A fun time was had by all & I really enjoyed having Matthew, Jouette, & the gang back on the boat.

The Spanish Mackerel showed up this week in with the Bluefish.  Can’t ask for better fishing right now….Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Red Drum(hook & release) & Spot.  We’ll filet, skin, & bag them for you.  All you have to do is cook’em!  Good eating!  Still got some available days open so give me at call & we’ll see if we can’t get something set up while we have this great variety of fish.

Plenty of Bluefish this week and got into the Red Drum yesterday also.

We had 110  Bluefish today.  They were just the right size to filet and fry which I did for supper tonight. I still have some open slots available on the August 10th Open Boat Day. Also, I’m having an August special –Monday thru Thursday — $600 for 10 people versus the usual 6 passengers.  Just contact me through this website or call me at 804-366-5050 and “LET’S GO FISHING”!
