We are experiencing a great Summer on the Chesapeake Bay. If you haven’t experienced one of our fishig trips aboard The Marylander, we still have dates available! A variety of Striped Bass, Blue Fish, and Spanish Mackerel will be species of choice in August! Don’t miss out on having fun in the Summer Sun!

As we turn the page on another month in the calendar, March brings us new hope that spring will soon arrive, and an awakening of anglers will soon venture out of months of hibernation on the Chesapeake Bay. For those of us that are dedicated anglers, we have kept our sanity by pursuing Chesapeake Bay pan fish (Yellow & White Perch) this winter during unusually seasonable temperatures. Though, the migration and spawning of these fish are coming to a finally in our local rivers in Creeks this month. Chain Pickerel, Crappie, and Hickory Shad (or Poor Man’s Tarpon) are a fan favorite to pursue after the migration of Perch. These fish can be targeted in local creeks by using small shad darts dressed with small twister tails, small spoons mimicking flashes of minnows, or with small flies. The technique and lure presentation is similar to this past months Perch fishing and provide an abundance of activity if executed properly. For the remainder of March, our focus turns to Preparation of our Vessel, in the mist of the Super Bowl of the Chesapeake Bay, the Opening of Striped Bass Season. Each sheet of sandpaper used, layer of paint applied, and upgrade to mechanism from year prior, is all for the betterment of angler experience and safety aboard The Marylander. Our motivation is to create a memorable experience that was better than the last and our preparation for success is relentless during the month of March. It is our hope that the future season is plentiful and the new changes in regulations announced create positive change to our fishery. Not only are we as anglers in a state of preparation, it is with great optimism that the changes to our regulations this past off season will prepare us for future success on the Chesapeake Bay.
