Sawyer Chesapeake Bay Fishing Charters

Our principal method of fishing for Chesapaeake Bay striped bass in the summer is a method known as live-lining. Live-lining involves the use of spinning reels and light tackle. When you live-line for rockfish, you put a live spot fish on a treble hook, and watch it swim away. If there are any stripers around, they may latch on to that spot and give you one heck of a fight! It's really exciting when we anchor on a pile of striped bass, and everyone in the group catches at the same time! For more information about live-lining for striped bass, check out my article on striped bass! We also may troll for striped bass during this time of year with the use of umbrella rigs. When the weather cools off on the Chesapeake Bay, the spot leave town. This requires us to resort to trolling for striped bass. When trolling during this time of year, we normally pull fewer lines to give us more mobility. We often see bait pods and clusters of birds gathering on the water surface, which often lead us to the fish! There have been many times where we go through a cluster of birds and have every rod go down at once!
