Captain John Sharp's Corner - Chesapeake Bay Fishing News & Reports

Well, the season is only about a week away. The boat is in the water and all the systems are being checked. I will be taking the fishing gear down to the marina this weekend and spend the rest of the time getting everything ready. We seem to be in pretty good shape and on schedule to be ready with days to spare.
As far as the fishing is concerned, according to the DNR website, the water temperature is around 54 degrees and alot of pre spawn rock are making their way up into the estuaries. There has been a lot of talk about how the warm spring will impact the fishing. Every year, there is always a lot of pre season anxiety about how things will go and in the end, every year has a different result. Until then, there is just speculation. The only thing for certain is that the annual spawning and migration patterns remain the same. Personally, I am just anxious to get started.
As always, if you would like to book a trip, give me a call

The season is only six weeks away and I am starting to get really busy. Although most of the trophy season is already booked, I do still have some open dates. The calendar is up to date, so you can look to see what is available. Of course, the best thing to do is to always call me.
I am really looking forward to this year. We are not doing any big jobs on the boat, so everything will be ready to go in plenty of time. Over the next few weeks, we will get her back in the water and get everything ready.
Although it is a little bit early to get any reliable fishing reports, everyone is hopefull that there will be a good run of big fish. According to the DNR website, the water temperature in the upper rivers is still around 50 degrees, which is still a little cool for the the fish to spawn. That is good as we don't want things to happen too soon.
As always, give me a call if you want to book a trip. Visit us on Facebook to get up to date reports at the MissMollyFishingCharters page.
