Report:

Trophy Striped Bass season opened here on the Chesapeake on Saturday, April 19th. My expectations were for a lot of fish as well as a lot of boat traffic. Both expectations were accurate. We have limited out on ever trip so far this season with fish up to 38 Pounds, and fish of 40" or more are being caught on every trip. If you would like to get in on some of the great spring trophy striped bass fishing in 2008, or some summer trips out of Atlantic City, now is the time to book. Just give me a call. Tightlines, Capt.
