Chesapeake Bay Striped Bass

Award winning York River Charter's Chesapeake Bay Striped Bass charter boat pursues trophy fish from Smith's Point on Virginia's Northern Neck to Rudee Inlet in Virginia Beach. We run our charter trips from the closest port to where the Rockfish are during their annual migration in the Chesapeake Bay. This gives our guests more time Striper Fishing and less time "boat riding"!

Trophy Stripers

Our charter guests have the opportunity to catch Striped Bass using various methods. If the Rockfish are hitting lures, we troll. If the Stripers want live bait, we utilize bait fish and eels. Sometimes jigging triggers the most strikes from these Trophy Stripers. Our mission is to do what it takes to get our angler's trophy Striped Bass in the boat!

The Virginia Coastal Seasons for Striped Bass run from January 1 through March 31, and from May 16 through December 31. During these periods we can harvest Stripers in the coastal waters of Virginia. The coastal waters start at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay and extend out seaward 3 miles.

Chesapeake Bay Spring Striper Season opens May 1st through June 15th. During this season we can harvest Rockfish from the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay inland and up it's tributaries.
