Cobia Season is Open!!!

Hello everyone, We got some great news last week when the VMRC decided to go against the ASMFC's ruling on closing cobia season after June 20th. This means we will be able to keep cobia all summer long, we have been restricted to keeping 2 40" or greater fish per day, but I guess that's better than the alternative and having a closed season on a great fishery. We are allowed to catch and release so everyone can get a chance to wrestle with one of these giants. We will start running trips for cobia on the weekends starting 6/11, mostly what we'll be doing when targeting cobia will be chumming and livelining, it may be a little bit of sight casting in the mix, but mostly chumming. We will also be trolling for bluefish, red drum, and spanish mackerel, bottom fishing for croaker, spot, and sharks, and we will also be doing flats fishing trips for puppy drum and speckled trout. We will be running these trips on weekends only and these are all great trips with lots of action that for lots of fun for family trips, your best buddies, or a group from work. We look forward to seeing you on board this summer.

Spring Trophy Season was a success, one last chance for spring rockfish!!!

    Hello everyone, First off, I would like to thank everyone who has been a part of our spring trophy season this year as it was our best one since we've been running the Anna Lynn. We finished up today with 54 Maryland citations in 24 trips!!! Overall we had some great days on the bay, we only had one trip where we didn't bring any meat home. There were a few trips that were "wham, bam, thank you mam, on the way home early", a few where we had to work all day to get our limit and a few where we had some nice fish, but didn't quite fill the box. Still it was the best overall season we've had and I'm very thankful for all of you who had a chance to get on board and be a part of it. For those that didn't get a chance to get one of these trophies, but still need to get your rockfish fix on there is one last chance. We will be fishing this coming Saturday out of Olverson's Marina for the school class fish, the 20-32" fish have shown up in great numbers over the past week. Last week and this weekend, we called them heartbreakers, but as of tomorrow they are meat in the box when the limits increase to 2 per person and 20" minimum. Saturday 5/21 is available for full charter or walk on, these trips usually are action packed with lots of pullage and a nice grade of small-medium class fish and its still a few big ones that will surprise us from time to time over the next couple weeks. If we have enough interest for a walk on saturday, it will be $125/person which includes tip and fish cleaning. We will take up to 8 people saturday and spots will be first come first serve. Give us a call or shoot us an email for any qeustions you may have or to get on board for saturday. Once again thanks to all for a great spring season, and its not too early to get your name on the books for summer fishing, fall rockfishing, or even next season's spring trophy season which will start 4/15/2017.
