Got word that a few Black drum have been caught in the surf off to our north so hopefully we should hear of some off Oyster soon. Tautog have been caught off the ...more ships and cbbt. A few flounder are showing both out of Oyster and in the bay around the cbbt also. Small Striper have been at Kiptopeke Pier. Winds should let up for the weekend so hopefully we will get some more reports soon. We have live minnows, bloodworms and green crabs along with all the frozen bait.

the High Hopes headed out with some students from Geogetown for a fun day of hanging out with friends, and fishing! Staying close to the docks because of the weather, ...more the customers are having a bunch of fun catching puppy drum with the crew!
Finally some awesome weather!! Warm weather, lots of sun, and even the rain is happening while it is warm out.... gives us all hope that SUMMER is right around the ...more corner...... HELLO SPRING (FINALLY!!)
The waters are finally starting to warm up a little bit, and are cooperating with us for some nice inlet trips. Although the fish aren't huge, its a great eating fish, that is fun for everyone to catch! Great trip for the family, and the kids! Four hour trips start at $650 (cash price for 6 people). Trips are available daily! Call us for more information or to book a trip.
There was also a nice sighting of an awesome tautog that made its way to our scales! A nice big size that shows that there are plenty of good taugs out there for catching... and eating! The head boats have been having some decent luck on their 3/4 day trips right now, although the fishing is still just picking up. But nonetheless, there are some big ones out there! Take a look at the photos below! Congrats!!
We had an offshore deep drop charter boat head out today. They had some beautiful weather, that MORE THAN COOPERATED with their trip!!! And no one could have asked ...more for better temperatures than we have had this week, and over the next few days! Yay for no more snow!! The black bellied rose fish made a great trip with their quantity and they are more than just good eating... they are AMAZING to eat!!! The barrell fish also added some weight to the trip; and allowed the anglers to really get some arm strength going. To round out the trip there were also a few streamer bass caught... streamer bass are generally VERY rare and they can almost be mistaken for a black bellied rose fish if you don't look carefully... the difference is the pink streamers that are coming right off of their sides. Check them out!
We will keep updating as the trips start heading out more this season!! Or you can always call us to check out what has been happening lately.
The Tautog are finally starting to show up! We had a private boat pull in to weigh a few and one made citation size. Tautog, also called Blackfish, are a really ...more good eating fish and definitely fun to catch while we all await the warmer water temperatures. The run to catch them isn't as far as an offshore deep-drop trip so this is an ideal fishery if you are looking for a shorter trip to entertain your family or friends.
Caught off cape Charles and released.
