Welcome anglers and sportsmen to Chesapeake Bay charter fishing with Big Rig Charters. Anglers have been holed up for months watching piles of snow fall and temperatures stay near freezing all winter long. While the snow fell and the weather was cold anglers have been anticipating one thing.

That's right, spring striper fishing and the first day of trophy striper season. As of this report anglers are still anxiously awaiting opening day. But the wait is over because now is the time to get your affairs in order. We are talking about your fishing affairs.

Time to make a few runs to the tackle shop to pick up your favorite rigs or some new line for your reels. Now is even a good time to schedule some days off or get ready to use up some sick days at work. Opening day for spring striper fishing in the Chesapeake Bay is April 17th and will be here before you know it.

It is also a good time to find a Chesapeake Bay charter fishing boat that specializes in catching big striper. It is time to book your trip because waiting will mean missing a trip because the boat is booked up or getting on a boat with a lessor experienced captain which can mean few or no fish.

Captain Jeff Shahan is a top Chesapeake Bay Captain with many years of rockfishing under his belt. He knows where the fish are, knows their feeding habits, and their tendencies. When you fish with Captain Jeff you give yourself the best chance possible to catch big rockfish.
